Rejected petition Introduce politics to the secondary curriculum

As a sixth form student, I have met many 18 years olds who didn't vote because they didn't understand politics. It is important young people are taught about politics as it develops their understanding of current events in Britain and the world, helping them form their own opinions of the parties.
