"Citizenship" in an 'Independent' newspaper supplement by Bernard Crick
Fri, Sep 27th 2002
Independent Supplement on ‘Citizenship’ Sept 27 2002 Bernard Crick “Civic education is about the civic virtues and decent behaviour adults wish to see in young people… and more than this… Active citizens are as political as they are moral; moral sensibility derives in part from political understanding; political apathy spawns moral apathy. Citizenship education firstly involves pupils learning from the beginning socially responsible behaviour and personal character both in and beyond the classroom……. Secondly learning about and participating in the life and concerns of (their class) their school and their local communities…..”
“It is essential that at primary school ‘Circle’ teaching or interactive experimental teaching is practised for both PSE and Citizenship objectives.”
