It argues that education for citizenship and human rights is a fundamental contemporary reference to approach school (in)discipline. It summarizes the National Plan for Human Rights Education’s proposals and considers its consequences for the approach of school (in)discipline. The paper says that citizenship education cannot be limited to pedagogical framework and transmission of information but it needs to be promoted as a social practice.
