Citizenship education is a statutory subject in the secondary curriculum. The subject addresses key contemporary issues including global interdependence, social responsibility and respect, and human rights. The role of citizenship education is to provide secondary school students with an understanding of their roles and responsibilities as citizens in a modern democracy.
This one-year course provides you with the comprehensive training needed to teach citizenship education. The PGCE in Secondary Citizenship is a 36 week, full-time course, designed to enable you to meet the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) standards for the award of qualified teacher status (QTS).
