    "Two moral abilities are particularly important for living together in  a democracy: firstly the ability of all citizens to judge and to act in  accordance with their own moral principles; secondly, the ability to  solve conflicts by means of fear-free discussions instead of the use of  violence and the exercise of power. As research shows, both basic  abilities, which are often summed up under the overall concept of moral  competence, are essential for a democratic way of life and the  functioning of democratic institutions. They are important for many  things, e.g., for helping people in distress (not just readiness to  help), for making quick decisions, learning effectively, for tolerating  ambiguity, and for rejecting violence as a means of social change.  Research also shows that the school promotes moral competence less  effec¬tively and less sustainably than is needed and seems possible  today. In this editorial, I attempt to give a broad overview on the research  on moral competence and its application in education and educational  policy-making in the past thirty years, in which I have been personally  involved. It is not a comprehensive handbook article, which remains to  be written."
