Civic Education
Explanation:
Civic education, whenever and however undertaken, prepares people of a country, especially the young, to carry out their roles as citizens. Civic education is, therefore, political education or, as Amy Gutmann describes it, “the cultivation of the virtues, knowledge, and skills necessary for political participation” (1987, 287). Of course, in some regimes political participation and therefore civic education can be limited or even negligible.

Education for Citizenship


Explanation:
FOR makes the reason clear - in addition to being the title for various programs. See Google. No reason to cite them all.
