It’s been hard work, on top of encouraging people to respond to the review, providing support for same and canvassing opinions for our own response. But now it’s done: we’ve submitted our response, which you can download to read at your leisure.
Our response to the Government’s National Curriculum Review (pdf) is informed by our members and supporters, as well as by over 380 teachers and parents who responded to our survey.
We are also delighted that – at the time of writing – nearly 300 people have used our online form to submit their own responses to the Curriculum Review team.

Effective Democracy is vital to civilised life. Citizenship education is vital to effective democracy, especially to the disadvantaged or disaffected. We already have a dangerously disconnected citizenry, and to make citizenship optional can only make the crisis (for that it is) much worse.
In fact we need to ensure that the subject is better taught. The issues
at stake go to the very roots of our society.
I speak as the Founder of the Citizenship Foundation and a Parliament-
arian since 1998.
