Abstract
Civic and citizenship education in Colombia has changed over the last two decades. The socioeconomic context and internal armed conflict, among other issues, have influenced the way that students have been taught. Several studies have been carried out to assess teaching about these topics in the country. This chapter briefly discusses the contribution IEA’s International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) has made to civic and citizenship education in Colombia and discusses the possible causes of the performance of the country in this study, as well as possible steps for its improvement. It also discusses how teachers’ training, schools’ autonomy, and limited resources for pedagogical improvement could be related to these results.
