Abstract
This article focuses on the proposals and procedures of the National Forum for Values in Education and the Community in the UK. It critically examines two conflicting strategies. The first of these is that the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), to which the Forum reported, should provide general guidance on how each school should work out and seek to implement its own policy on values education, with no further substantive prescription incorporated into the guidance. The second strategy is that they should prescribe both a preferred set of values to be imparted and a preferred method for imparting them. The article examines the QCA framework for action which steers between these two extremes.Keywords
