Make basic political education compulsory in every secondary school.
The current expectation of Citizenship/PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) lessons to cover this is failing. It is currently more focused on the individual’s relationship to society and less so on the political structures that govern that society. I personally spent 5 years of secondary school sitting in PSHE lessons that were an awkward mix of sex-ed, friendship advice and health and safety quizzes. Teach the various parties and their policies.
Help the future know what they are voting for, rather than just voting for a name or face on a screen.
