Political education is an essential part of a broad and balanced education that prepares young people for adult life. Citizenship education is in the statutory national curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4. The programmes of study are designed to prepare pupils to play a full and active part in society, and are organised around core knowledge about democracy, Government, and how laws are made and upheld. Citizenship education also equips pupils with the skills and knowledge to explore political and social issues critically, to weigh evidence, debate and make reasoned arguments. Schools can also teach politics as part of their wider school curriculum if they choose to do so.
