ICCS is the largest international, and only dedicated study of civic and citizenship education. It makes a substantial contribution to our knowledge about civic and citizenship education in schools and our understanding of how diverse countries prepare their young people for citizenship. ICCS investigates the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens in a world where contexts of democracy and civic participation continue to change. The study was first implemented in 2009 with a follow-up cycle in 2016 and 2022 ICCS collects rich contextual data on the organization and content of civic and citizenship education in the curriculum, teacher qualifications and experiences, teaching practices, school environment and climate, and home and community support. Target Population:Students enrolled in the eighth grade, provided that the average age of students in this grade was 13.5 years or above at the time of the assessment; if the average age of students in Grade 8 was less than 13.5 years, Grade 9 was defined as the target population.
