Introduce a Politics GCSE

Petition Details

The government should introduce a Politics GCSE by making changes to the current Citizenship GCSE and Politics A-level. The bridge between GCSE and A-level politics is currently too large and can put students off the subject.

Additional Information

There has been a decrease in political participation and engagement. This change has been most notably seen in young people, who may feel uninformed, apathetic or indifferent to politics.

This may be a result of little political education during school and simply must be changed. A Politics GCSE could allow more students to access politics at a younger age and would serve well to increase participation and engagement among young people.
