Rejected petition provide more political education in schools so people aged 16 and up are able to vote

More details

As a student I don't feel as if I am education enough about politics and how the country run as I am not provided with the information from my school. It should be a mandatory subject that students are taught once a week to provide them with the information needed to produce a political opinion, preparing us for when we vote. If this was to happen I also believe the voting age should be lowerd to 16.
