    Abstract

    In focusing on some possible ways that schools can nurture responsible and participative citizens, the intention in this presentation is to use Transition Year as a particular lens. The plan is also to identify some of the obstacles within schools that inhibit realizing these aspirations. The selection of issues is informed especially by Attitudes to Transition Year (Jeffers, 2007) a research report commissioned by the Department of Education and Science.
