Increase education about our political system in compulsory schooling.
Educate young people on baseline understanding of the political system within their years in compulsory education. This means FPTP, the impact of recent political decisions, how our politicians are restricted etc, and how we can engage in democracy, even without voting.
Too many young people misunderstand our political system, and therefore are unable to independently analyse policies put forward by parties, leading them to be easily manipulated by the media. Educate them and allow people to make informed choices, and increase security of democracy.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Education about politics is already in the national curriculum and is a key part of citizenship education at school.
If you would like to make a change to the current arrangements, you can start a petition setting out clearly what you would like to change, such as submitting a petition about making politics a core specific subject.
