Partners or Clients: Education for Citizen Participation in the Third Sector
Abstract
Citizen participation is a key to develop democratic societies which guarantee education for all. In this sense, the Third Sector for social and educational action is an essential scenario. However, there are operational problems arising from
the application of external evaluations on service excellence and quality. These problems are analysed to define the current state of the Third Sector and its educational implications, offering solutions and guidance for practice. Distribution of responsibilities for welfare, influence of external evaluation on the Third Sector, lack of citizen ability to participate in it, and challenges and functions of education within this framework are addressed. The results of the analysis highlight protecting the original meaning of the Third Sector, decentralising the influence of external evaluations and taking advantage of recent pedagogical trends. In addition, the conclusion points to the need for an alliance between formal education and the Third Sector to train empathic and morally autonomous citizens.
