Morality and Citizenship in Education Summary

Morality and Citizenship in Education by John Beck

The first section of this book compares and contrasts declinist accounts of the current moral predicament with the somewhat more optimistic approach derived from recent sociological analyses. The second section is more directly devoted to the role of schools in educating about values, morality and citizenship. Specific curricular issues such as the values of enterprise and enterprise culture, educating about citizenship, and the ambiguities about the meaning of the term spiritual are dealt with in successive chapters.
