The Government has decided that `British values' are democracy,
the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of
those with different faiths. Since 2014, teachers have been required
to promote them in schools to all pupils. What are the implications of
this for teachers, pupils, and the rest of us?
Discussing a broad mix of issues - citizenship, diversity, social
class, ethnicity, religion, counter-extremism, affect, and community
cohesion - this book discusses the political , social and cultural
contexts.
Drawing on observations of teaching, as well as teachers' views, it
analyses how teachers make sense of their mandatory promotion,
and what ideas of citizenship and identity they offer to their pupils.
