Rejected petition Politics should be more widely taught in schools

More details

Politics is not widely taught widely taught in schools at young impressionable ages. With decreasing turnout figures and a weakening democracy, the only way to secure a better future for UK politics would be to make politics a GCSE subject, or even taught in classes such as PSHRE for children lower down the school spectrum.
