This article explores the pivotal role of political science in the development of political consciousness and the promotion of active civic engagement in contemporary societies. It argues that political science, through its theoretical frameworks and empirical methodologies, equips individuals with critical understanding of political systems, institutions, and participatory mechanisms. By fostering analytical thinking, awareness of rights and responsibilities, and a sense of democratic accountability, political science contributes to the formation of an informed, active, and responsible citizenry. The article also examines how political education, rooted in political science, serves as a catalyst for empowering youth, strengthening democratic values, and enhancing public participation in political processes.
