What is character education? Why has it risen up the political
agenda in the UK in recent years? And what does it mean in
pedagogical practice? This book addresses these questions,
challenging the individualistic and moralistic ideas underlying the
clamour amongst politicians, educators and authors to promote
'grit', 'resilience' and 'character' in schools. Closely examining
a range of teaching resources, the book shows that the development
of character is wrongly presented as the solution to a wide variety
of social problems, with individual citizens expected to
accommodate themselves to the realities of the contemporary
economic context, rather than enhancing their capacities to engage
in civic and political activities to bring about changes they wish
to see. The book argues that there is a tried and tested
alternative to character education, which is far more likely to
strengthen British democracy, namely, citizenship education.
