Abstract | This book chapter discusses the historical and contemporary role of PSE institutions in citizenship and civic education. Notes that as many third sector organisations have taken responsibility for service provision, they have been less able to fill citizenship education roles. As a result it is more important than ever that PSE institutions take up this role. The authors argue that “public work” should be a framing principle in PSE. |
