Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, I analyse citizenship education policy and practice in the four countries of the UK (England, Northern-Ireland, Scotland and Wales). Citizenship education policy and practice is vary in each country as they have different education systems. However, there is an initiative which making a connection among four countries' citizenship education policy and practice. This study focused on an activity which is promoted by the 'Five Nations Network (FNN)'. The conclusion is that, FNN tried to share good ideas relating to citizenship education policy and practice, and didn't intend to make a common frame work among them.
