Spain, as part of the European Union, has been included in a paradigm shift from a focus on nationalism to the concept of global citizenship.

An overview of the Education for Citizenship and Human Rights (EfC) curriculum is also incorporated with a description of the controversy surrounding its implementation as a mandatory school subject. It concludes with an explanation of Kingdom citizenship and implications and recommendations for Christian schools.
