There are many models for education that place students in the forefront. This proposed model for informational education presents a particular structural and pedagogical suggestion that aims at enabling students to grow intellectually. It also situates education, as a human action, with a system of justice. The intellectual and personal growth of students, as is demonstrated here, depends upon a clear idea of what is just within institutions and among people. Definitions and examples are offered wherever possible to illustrate the efficacy of the suggested model.
