In Turkey, citizenship education is generally regarded as a shared outcome of multiple subjects at all levels of education. However, the most explicit course dedicated to citizenship education at the primary level is the 4th Grade Human Rights, Citizenship, and Democracy Course. Broadly speaking, citizenship education aims to cultivate "good citizens," equipping individuals with citizenship rights and responsibilities while fostering essential values and skills required by contemporary society. Over time, numerous fundamental changes have been made in the implementation of this course, leading to the development, transformation, and modification of curricula that adapt to the needs of the era. Most recently, in 2024, all curricula were restructured within the framework of the Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli, including the Human Rights, Citizenship, and Democracy Curriculum. Although the 2018 updated curriculum is still in use, starting from the 2024-2025 academic year, 1st-grade students have begun utilizing the new curricula. Consequently, by the 2027-2028 academic year, the revised Human Rights, Citizenship, and Democracy curriculum will also come into effect.
