Make Government & Politics a compulsory, core subject in schools
With plans to reduce the voting age for the next election to 16, we believe there's a greater need to introduce Government & Politics as a standalone, core subject in secondary schools.
We think this will help schoolchildren learn the fundamentals of British Politics and understand voting and how their vote matters.
We believe that without proper education, many will likely not vote or will get a majority of their information from social media platforms, which makes us concerned about the potential effects of misinformation and the impact on results at the next general election. In our view, the need for Government & Politics as a compulsory core subject in Secondary Schools has never been higher.
