Abstract
The civic competence implies the acquisition of knowledge, skills
and attitudes by active citizens who will promote the protection
of human rights and civic freedom and thus contribute to their
narrower and wider community. It is important to start acquiring
the civic competence at the beginning of a child’s schooling, but
also to continue with it at all educational levels. This paper’s aim
was to analyse the acquisition of the civic competence in two
countries: The Republic of Croatia and England. Since Citizenship
Education has started to be institutionalised in both countries
only lately, the paper presents, compares and analyses the current
status of Citizenship Education in the national educational documents
of the Republic of Croatia and the United Kingdom which
exclusively relate to England.
Keywords
