Abstract
We share the view of Pashby (2008: 19) that schools are important sites for the cultivation of citizenship education, particularly for ‘reinstating confidence in democracy … [and] to enable young people from differing backgrounds to live together’. A similar view is shared by Glass (2000: 279), who holds that schools ‘with all their faults … remain crucial to hope for creating more fair and equitable communities’.
