Introduce a compulsory current affairs GCSE encouraging engagement in politics
Ignorance and apathy in politics currently is rife and so we need to talk about this and introduce compulsory education on our democratic systems within schools. This petition seeks the introduction of a compulsory current affairs GCSE taught by a tutor who will lead but not influence debate.
Politicians need to have a role in the introduction of this course. Local councillors are often overlooked in our democratic process but they should be in schools, both secondary and primary to introduce political debate and their political arguments to students and be prepared to be confronted by views they disagree with from their future electorate.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
