The last decades, the debate around the reform of the Spanish educational system has been focused on the 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜Education for Citizenship에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™. As a school subject, it was introduced in 2006, cancelled in 2013 and eliminated from the curricula in 2016. The cancelation was a result of Catholic attacks based on the perception that this type of subject serves the purpose of ideological indoctrination. The conflictual process reflects how conservative, liberal, republican and socialist approaches to civic education have been fighting to settle a common normative ground of education and to establish a basic consensus on democratic ideas. Philosophy has been at the centre of attention in the process, since 에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트˜Education for Citizenship에볼루션 카지노 웹사이트™ was in general taught by philosophy graduates. Nowadays progressive parties plan to restore the subject within the frame of a neutralist, minimalist liberal approach. Still, is a normatively thin Citizenship Education consistent with democracy?
