As less than 40% of 18 - 24 year old had voted in the UK's EU referendum, the only way to engage with the youth is through compulsory political education.

I feel passionately about educating everyone, young and old, how the political process works to empower them to make informed political choices.

Voting is a very responsible thing to do - Teenagers doing it for the very first time can feel a little daunted at the decission they are asked to make. If young people while still in school could practice using the systom I think that it would be a help to them later on in understanding how it all works.

My interest in politics stemmed from learning Citizenship at Secondary School. Now that Citizenship is steady fading out of school's curriculum, I fear that less and less children will grasp the interest of something that could change their lives. This not an issue of breading a new wave of political figures, merely educating the next generation into being able to make better decisions and take action which is their right to as a citizen of this democratic country.

Politics affects everyone's life so they should have at least an understanding of how the county is governed. This may lead to better debates about the issues and a better quality of representation of people in government at all levels. This may be why some current politicians won't want it being taught about is schools

We don't let people drive without a driving licence; why should we let them make choices for the country if they don't know the consequences of their choices?

I agree, it is very important for young people to take an interest in politics otherwise they may grow up without the correct knowledge of their own rights as human beings!

I think this is really important, as a politics student at university I am becoming increasingly concerned about how little others know. Educating young people about politics will not only encourage them to vote but also teach people what their vote will means, the importance of policies and the effect policies can have; I think education is a good way of preventing the rise of xenophobic parties. It should be done well and not just as a quick lesson that acknowledgeable teachers brush over.

Unfortunately, the current ruling class of politicians are quite comfortable with the limited engagement they get from their electorates, as it only makes their job easier. Lack of political education also makes the population more succeptable to misinformation spread by the media, a classic example being the lies and scaremongering spread during last years AV referendum. A more informed populace is absolutely vital for a healthy democracy, and we cant afford to wait another generation for this!
