Towards consensus? Citizenship in secondary schools

Ref: 2666
Significant progress has been made in implementing National Curriculum citizenship in many secondary schools. However, there is not yet a strong consensus about the aims of citizenship education or about how to incorporate it into the curriculum. In a quarter of schools surveyed, provision is still inadequate, reflecting weak leadership and lack of specialist teaching.
In May 2007 Ofsted held a conference - Leading citizenship in schools - for secondary schools in which citizenship was judged to be good. A presentation based on the conference is now available; it is accompanied by notes that refer to Towards consensus?.
