Introduce Law as a GCSE subject

Closed 538 signatures

What the petition asks

Introduce GCSE Law to the national education curriculum. I feel the current curriculum can sometimes fail to inspire and motivate students.
I believe this reform may not only improve student engagement, but could help enhance collective knowledge, understanding, and respect for the laws that govern our society.
