Petition

Add politics to the national curriculum

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I belive politics should be added to the junior school curriculum and as a subject necessary to provide as a GCSE by schools in the UK
As many of the people here understand, the extremist politicians are dominating multiple countries elections.
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!
Teaching politics will help young people understand this threat and make sure that the authoritarian never get into power.
This will help us as a democratic nation
My information is supported by speaker politics "Politics should be added to the national curriculum because understanding how laws are made and why civic engagement's important is fundamental."
