Educación para la ciudadanía: el gato ya tiene su cascabel

Abstract

This paper deals with the difficulties entailed by the incorporation of Citizenship Education as a new area or subject in primary and secondary education in the Spanish educational system. Either for attributing it a propagandistic character, for considering it a secular alternative to the teaching Religion, for regarding a cross-curriculum as more appropriate or for understanding that their contents are already included in other subjects of the school curriculum, the truth is that serious objections exist for Citizenship Education to gather the requirements of an integrating knowledge of the school culture.
