Report on citizenship education published
European students are getting more involved in school politics – and learning about civic engagement – according to a report published by Eurydice earlier this month. The study, entitled “Citizenship Education in Europe”, analyses the regulations on the promotion of student participation in school governance which are now in effect in all European Countries.
The document – an update on a previous Eurydice study from 2005 – contains information on progress in this field from the 31 Eurydice Network countries, which includes the European Union member states and Croatia, Iceland, Norway and Turkey. Five main topics are covered within: curriculum aims and organisation; student and parent participation in schools; school culture and student participation in society; assessment and evaluation; and support for teachers and school heads.
The report – and the accompanying highlights – are published in English. French and German translations will be made available later this year.
