Abstract
For Dahrendorf, the enlargement of individual life chances is the central challenge of society in general and politics especially. Life chances can be maximized in civil society. Civil society has the following characteristics: the rule of law, the autonomy of organizations and institutions, and a civic attitude characterized by politeness, tolerance, non-violence, civic pride, and civil courage. Education is necessary for people to be able to seize opportunities in life, so Dahrendorf values education as a civil right. In order for the education system to be able to fulfill its task of increasing individual opportunities in life, it must not be frozen in bureaucratic regulations. In this respect, Dahrendorf pleads for the definition of minimum standards in education by the state, complemented by sponsorship of educational institutions.
