Abstract:

In Pakistan, civic education is being given at different levels through different subjects like Pakistan Studies, Social Studies, Islamic Studies, and linguistics. However the contents so taught are mostly related to the aspect of value education. After reviewing the related literature it is observed that in the education so given, civic skills are not that much focused as compared to the values. In this context the present study was made to gauge the level of awareness, perception and practices of the students towards civic skills at tertiary level, in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
