We Want Political Education
To have education about UK politics and democracy within schools as part of young people's education.
Why is this important?
This is important as without political education or information then some young people do not believe that voting or which political party in government affects them. Politics has changed over the past decades, more people are interested in activism politics and not traditional politics. Without political information being given to young people early then they can have this knowledge for the rest of their lives. In the past, politics was past down from generation to generation, but now this isn't happening then the education needs to step in with advice. Education would be on how government works, voting systems, role of MPs etc, in order to keep the ability for teaching to be unbiased then it will not include information on ideology and political parties.
Without political information then who knows what might happen in the future, will voter turnout drop like it did from 1997 to 2001?
Sign this important petition to get the secretary of state for education to listen!
