The book is structured to progressively build students’ understanding of their identity as citizens and their role within the broader societal framework.
In Form 3, the focus is primarily on the basic concept of citizenship, where students are introduced to the meaning and significance of being a citizen.

As students progress to Form 4, the curriculum expands to include a more detailed examination of government and political structures. The book explains the various branches of government and their functions, the electoral process, and the importance of active participation in democratic processes. Citizenship is also framed within the context of national identity and patriotism, with discussions on the roles of symbols such as the national flag, anthem, and constitution. The book encourages students to understand and appreciate the historical and cultural heritage of their country, fostering a sense of national pride and unity.
In Form 5, the emphasis shifts towards global citizenship, where students are encouraged to think beyond their immediate environment. The book covers topics such as globalization, international organizations, human rights, and environmental stewardship. It underscores the interconnectedness of the modern world and the importance of understanding global issues from a local perspective. The book also stresses the importance of social justice, peace, and conflict resolution, urging students to contribute positively to society both locally and globally.
Throughout the three forms, “Citizenship Education” by Munang R.C. is designed to not only impart knowledge but also to instil values and attitudes that are essential for the development of responsible, informed, and active citizens. The book uses a variety of teaching methods, including case studies, discussions, and practical activities, to engage students and help them apply what they learn to real-life situations. This approach ensures that students are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern citizenship and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the world at large.
