Welcome to the website of the International Study Centre for ICCS 2022 at ACER

The purpose of ICCS is to investigate the ways in which young people are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens in a range of countries in the 21st century. In pursuit of this purpose, the study will report on student achievement in a test of knowledge, conceptual understanding and competencies in civic and citizenship education. It will also collect and analyse data about student dispositions and attitudes relating to civics and citizenship. The study builds on the previous IEA studies of civic education, particularly CIVED in 1999.

ACER is the International Study Centre for ICCS 2022 (being responsible for the same role in the first two cycles of ICCS in 2009 and 2016).
