Rejected petition Voice Of The Excluded
More details
We think that the political knowledge of the younger generation is minimal. We are creating this petition hoping to incorporate politics compulsory in secondary school curriculum (e.g. citizenship/ PSHE) therefore enabling the younger generation to better understand the political world. We hope by doing this it will lead to a higher turnout at elections for the younger voters.
