Ofsted publishes citizenship reports
03 Nov 2005
On Wednesday 2 November, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, David Bell, addressed an audience of teachers, pupils and members of the public when he delivered the Roscoe Lecture on 'Education for Democratic Citizenship' at John Moores University in Liverpool.
Ofsted also published two reports on citizenship: 'An evaluation of the post-16 citizenship pilot 2004/05' and 'Initial teacher training for teachers of citizenship 2004/05: an overview report'.
The reports conclude that good citizenship lessons are successful at addressing core skills, attitudes and values, but in one fifth of schools citizenship is marginalised in the curriculum.
