Citizenship in Secondary Schools, a report published this week by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), shows misconceptions remain about what should be included in citizenship lessons.
However, the report goes on to stress there is much good practice which should be shared.
Findings show the best examples of citizenship education are found in schools where there are strong specialist teachers and in those schools which offer a short GCSE in the subject.
Citizenship is now a compulsory subject for 11 to 16 year olds.
