ICCS
International comparative study on political education
What is ICCS?
The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) is an international large scale assessment study on civic and citizenship education in schools. It examines how well young people are prepared for their role as responsible citizens in democratic societies. The focus is on political knowledge, attitudes towards democracy, the willingness of eighth-grade students to participate, their learning and participation experiences, and relevant school and social conditions.
On this website, students and their parents, school administrators and teachers, as well as researchers and other interested parties, can find information about ICCS 2027 in Germany.
