With the introduction of citizenship as a National Curriculum subject, schools need to consider how to deliver this relatively unknown quantity. Aspects of citizenship have sometimes been included in social studies courses at the secondary level, but it has rarely been treated as a clearly defined subject in itself. Of course, schools are not starting with a blank slate – curriculum guidance and schemes of work are emerging to support teaching in this area (particularly at key stages 3 and 4, where citizenship is to be a statutory subject). But what of those countries that have already made the journey that teachers in England are now embarking upon? This article discusses approaches to citizenship across 16 countries, and includes useful overviews of international practice, as well as some detailed accounts of the state of play in individual countries. Primary and secondary schools should find this a useful addition to their thinking on citizenship. |
