Introduce basic UK political knowledge into secondary school curriculum

Petition Details

Introduce basic UK political knowledge into secondary school curriculum in PSHE / Citizenships and Values, with what each political party stands for, who people vote and why, and manifestos

Additional Information

There are many young people who are highly uninterested in British politics, which a lot of the time can lead to wasted votes as people either do not vote or they vote based on how much they like the leader's character.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The key stage 3 and 4 curriculums for Citizenship already include teaching about democracy, government and how laws are made and upheld.

If you would like Politics to be a compulsory subject in its own right, or the content of the curriculum to change, you could start a petition about that.
