A bad pub quiz -- Why test for citizenship? -- A new beginning -- Not learning from mistakes -- From trivia to trivial -- Building bridges and making a better test -- Conclusions and recommendations -- Appendix : setting a new citizenship test.
"How many questions could you answer in a pub quiz about British values? Designed to ensure new migrants have accepted British values and integrated, the UK's citizenship test is often portrayed as a bad pub quiz with answers few citizens know. With the launch of a new post-Brexit immigration system, this is a critical time to change the test. Thom Brooks draws on first-hand experience of taking the test, and interviews with key figures including past Home Secretaries, to expose the test as ineffective and a barrier to citizenship. This accessible guide offers recommendations for transforming the citizenship test into 'a bridge to citizenship' which fosters greater inclusion and integration"-- Taken from back cover.
