Educational Psychology student, Phoebe, has started a petition to call for strengthened mandatory #CitizenshipEd and enhanced resources and teacher training. With the voting age set to be lowered, it's crucial that #Citizenship is prioritised. Sign it: ow.ly/rv1050WNFBU
Petition: Set minimum number of citizenship lesson hours, increase resources & training
We think the government should strengthen Citizenship education in secondary schools including a mandatory minimum number of teaching hours, alongside increased resources and teacher training, to give students the best chance to leave school politically informed and confident to vote.
