This article examines how the European Parliament and the Commission sought to use education policy as a tool to strengthen popular support for European integration. It first proposes a conceptual framework to show why and how mass education can lend itself as an important instrument to foster public consent for political and economic integration. Then it traces EP and Commission-led attempts over the past two decades to introduce a 'European dimension' into the school curricula of the EU member states, pursued in the hope that this would enhance the Union's popular standing. They included proposals for the teaching of European 'civics', the 'correction' of history textbooks and the display of Union paraphernalia in classrooms. As is shown, however, most of these attempts have either stumbled over resistance by some national governments or led to little more than educational exchange programmes. I argue that the Union's far-reaching failure to leave its imprint on the school curricula of the member states hints at some of the wider obstacles it faces in its attempts to enact policies aimed at securing lasting public support for integration. |
