Abstract
Civics and citizenship education, as their names suggest, is the cultural transmission and acquisition with regard to the notions of citizen and citizenship which take place within schools. Citizenship education can be viewed as a part of a broader phenomenon of political learning and political socialisation which is about the transmission and learning of political knowledge, attitudes, sociopolitical norms and values for the members of a political community. Citizenship, often taught as a component of the school curriculum, is distinctive in its deliberate, planned, and institutionalized form in the early stages of the education of the younger generation in a modern nation-state.
