This book seeks to investigate how the pedagogic space of schools and classrooms has been defined by the UK government's counter-terrorism 'Prevent' strategy, most notably through the requirement on teachers not to undermine 'fundamental British values' as part of the Teachers Professional Standards. The term 'fundamental British values' migrated from Prevent to the statutory framework that regulates teacher professionalism and has effectively securitized education practice. The Prevent strategy was conceived in response to the 7/7 bombings in London by so-called 'home-grown' Muslim terrorists. The need for teachers to promote British values is an attempt to forge a cohesive British identity among young citizens within a multiracial, multicultural and multilingual society. However, as the chapters in this book illustrate, the state project to harness education to engender belonging - or as some would argue, civic nationalism - whilst simultaneously undertaking surveillance of children and young people from the Muslim community for signs of radicalization, has led to the perception of a hierarchy of citizens or, conversely, 'insider-outsider' citizens.
