Abstract

This paper intends to explore how citizenship education can be justified for young non-citizens through exploring the various conceptualizations of citizenship and highlighting the aims of primary education as a justification for education for non-citizens. The conceptualizations express that citizenship education overtime has excluded non-citizens in its teaching. Primary education is portrayed to be an essential starting point to understand why it is crucial to teach citizenship without marginalizing non-citizens. Global Citizenship Education is seen as an alternative that can provide room for non-citizens. This paper suggests that a new framework for citizenship education that encompasses non-citizens needs to be formulated.
