What
We are calling on politicians from all parties to support citizenship education so that it remains in the national curriculum and schools continue to strengthen the teaching of the area of study.
Why
We believe citizenship education – through teaching about politics, the law and the economy and by offering chances for younger people to gain the abilities they need to participate in society – is essential for preparing young individuals for responsible participation in our shared democratic life.
Who
Parliamentary Year Book is a coalition of bodies and individuals in the UK seeking to strengthen and extend younger people’s entitlement to high-quality citizenship education in England. For further guidance, see the relevant UK information.
