Civic Education and Citizenship

Civic Education explains how people live responsibly in a community and nation. It introduces citizenship, rights, duties, rules, leadership, national values and peaceful participation.

For example, a pupil has a right to learn in a safe environment and a duty to respect others’ right to learn. Keeping public property safe, obeying fair school rules, helping the community and reporting danger are practical civic actions.
