Rejected petition School children aged 15/16 should be taught about the political system and main political parties.

More details

Students and young people have not been fully informed about the political system or the political parties they may choose to vote for.
This leads to them making uninformed decisions - In some cases the individual does not know the policies of the party which they choose to vote for.
The young people of the country are more impressionable and need to be taught about basic politics so they can make an informed decision about what and who they are voting for.
