The democratization of science is a basic requirement for a true democracy in which everyone can receive the benefits of science, accomplishing at the same time an active role in the country's developmental process and in the determination of his or her own destiny. The development of intelligence is a fundamental educational factor for participation in democracy. It is a true process of personalization, that is to say, the strengthening of the human being and his specific qualities-mental, physical, emotional, and social. Education for participation must involve all environments, from family and classrooms to public service organizations and labor, cultural and recreational centers, stimulating inventiveness, criticism, responsible effort, and creativity. Without the development of intelligence man cannot participate in social life in a conscious and responsible manner.
Participation depends on the thorough development of each individual's potentialities.
And the development of intelligence means in itself the development of all human capacities. History's most important ideal has been that of freedom. Everyone has the right to be free. Intelligence is a tool for freedom. The human person can be freer by the perfection of his own being, which is gained in the progressive actualization of all his faculties.
