Enterprising Citizens? Perceptions of citizenship education and enterprise education in England and Hungary

Abstract

This article describes the early stages of a funded project. The project aims to explore the perceptions of teachers concerning the tensions and overlaps between the drives to promote a form of education that stresses competitiveness and enterprise at the same time as emphasising the centrality of civic values. The project is taking place in Hungary and England. An indication is given of the contexts in which the research is occurring with some discussion of the relevant issues, together with some elaboration of the research methods that will be employed.
