SocietyGuardian.co.uk | Society | My eureka moment: "Citizenship can't be merely taught
I strongly believe that students should be engaged in all levels of decision making in education - from the decisions in their own schools to those at a national educational policy level. Citizenship can't be merely taught; if we want to foster a generation of active citizens, students have to have the chance to put citizenship into action.
At present the education system is too passive and we 'deliver' education on a 'one-size-fits-all' basis. This needs to change if we want to stop people dropping out of school early and if we want to raise attainment. Take Finland, for example; it has some of the highest rates of youth participation and also has the highest attainment rates of all OECD countries."
