You are supposed to look at politics in Citizenship and at a level you can study politics. This activity is also a way to look at politics in a simple way.
I think so. when I taught at a comprehensive school I used to do a short course called political literacy and the idea of that was to equip students to understand how politics, local and national, actually works. Only when you know that will you have power to influence decisions. i think there is a place for debate too, discussing different political ideas etc., but teachers have to be very careful not to express their own views too much.
I think when education starts it is an all round study of subjects then when it gets to GCSE’s some get dropped as it does for A levels and then a specific study for a degree. PGCE is supposed to encompass civic learning including politics. Politics is about everything we do particularly choices and somewhere along the line there has to have been a political decision. I would say that highlighting how important politics are to forcing someone to study it are vastly different and again it should be a matter of mature choice.
I think business and economics would be a better choice with a bit of polotics within this. Learn about how business and the economy work so you can make your own political decisions.
