Mandatory political education for all children at school

What the petition asks
Mandatory political education for all children at school as part of the curriculum
To ensure the future electorate understands the political system in the UK rather than wasting time with ridiculous petitions such as asking for another general election, 4 months after the last one
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Education about politics is already in the national curriculum. If you would like to make a change to the current arrangements, you can start a petition setting out clearly what you would like to change.
