Education

Summary

It is important that people know how our democratic system works, therefore the Government should seek to place unbiased and thorough political education on the curriculum, at secondary school level - whilst maintaining current guidance which ensures political impartiality in teaching. Implementing compulsory political education in our schools would be an effective step, in the right direction, of tackling the giant of ignorance. Not only would compulsory political education improve people's understanding of our democratic system, it would improve critical thinking skills and improve engagement with the system by which we are all affected.
