Abstract
The issue of governance is the final educational issue addressed in the book. This chapter states that citizenship education can be extended to provide a ‘whole organisational approach’ to ensure that citizenship extends to forms of democratic decision making and accountability within educational institutions. Democratic socialist ideas in educational governance will be explored in relation to stakeholder control, participatory budgeting and associationist democracy. Discussion will also be extended to notions of pupil/student voice and how far schools and colleges can facilitate this in their endeavours to become more democratic and accountable to learners.
