Citizenship in secondary schools (UK)

Towards consensus: Citizenship in secondary schools
Citizenship is improving but there remains wide variation in quality with inadequate provision seen in a quarter of the schools surveyed
The teaching of citizenship is improving and there are now better opportunities for training, but in around 25% of schools inspected in 2005/06 the provision was found to be inadequate.
Towards consensus: Citizenship in secondary schools published by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), shows that many schools have not yet implemented full programmes of citizenship across Key Stages 3 and 4, and that misconceptions remain about what should be included in citizenship education.
However, the report goes on to stress that there is now much good practice that can be shared and the post-16 citizenship pilot programme, which began in 2001, has been successful .

Listening to students experiences of citizenship
A major new report from the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) spotlights the reality of citizenship education for young people in school and in local communities in England.
Three years after the introduction of Citizenship as a new subject, the report charts the progress of citizenship practice in schools and underlines the growing power of student voice. It emphasises the important role schools play as a ?ite?of citizenship learning and their influence on students?conceptions of citizenship, their civic knowledge and sense of efficacy and empowerment. Teachers and school leaders remain positive about the impact of citizenship on students?participation, engagement and tolerance.
Meanwhile, young people reveal that they are actively engaged with citizenship issues in both their school and the wider community and feel that they can ?ake a difference? However, there are still considerable challenges to be overcome in developing effective practice in citizenship in schools.
