What the petition asks
Add politics to the school curriculum to show kids and teens how important politics actually is to there lives and how it affects them , a lot of kids are not interested in politics, but if politics is added to the school curriculum, kids might be able to become a bit more interested and informed
Educating kids about politics is very important, as kids and teens , need to be able to make their own informed decision about what they want for the country, and to be able to understand, what politics is all about, a lot of kids don’t find interest in politics, even though it is of huge importance to them , politics effects there opportunities in life , etc buying a house or going to school. I hope the government considers doing this as a lot of teens are miss informed about politics as well
