In September 2002 Citizenship becomes a completely new subject in England’s secondary schools. Jerome Freeman, Principal Officer for History with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) — the authority responsible for advising the British government on curriculum content and qualification standards in England - outlines QCA’s view on the connections between history and citizenship. With reference to the scheme of work that QCA officers have produced to help schools interpret the Citizenship curriculum, Jerome Freeman illustrates the ways in which Citizenship and History might be taught together.
