Civic education plays a crucial role in shaping informed and responsible citizens, yet its effective integration in the English subject in primary schools presents notable challenges. This mixed-methods research employs surveys for quantitative insights and interviews for qualitative depth to scrutinize the implementation of civic education in English subjects. The study unveils a spectrum of challenges faced by teachers, including a lack of awareness regarding the importance of civic education, intensified curriculum pressure, and insufficient training and guidance. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance the incorporation of civic education. Moreover, the study advocates for further research exploring the implementation of civic education in other subjects and extending its scope to secondary schools. By addressing these challenges, educators and policymakers can contribute to fostering a more comprehensive civic education framework, ensuring the cultivation of responsible and engaged citizens.
