Summary:
Educating pupils about civic issues is more about cultivating children's interest in civic issues and engaging them in community affairs. Students' experiences and the contextualisation of those experiences are pivotal. The students should know that they have an active role in society - questioning, confirming, collating, thinking, rethinking and most important, participating in community life is what is required. Learning about civic issues is actually no learning at all, at least in the conventional, textbook sense of learning. The educational institutions should help the students engage proactively in community affairs..
