"Youth Parliament calls for the votng age to be lowered to 16 in all public elections"
16 and 17 year olds should be given the vote in all public elections, according to the UK Youth Parliament, which has chosen ‘votes at 16’ as its national campaign for 2014. ‘A curriculum to prepare us for life’ was also chosen as the UKYP’s priority campaign for England.
2014 - Youth Parliament
"Curriculum for Life"
We believe that the place of citizenship education and PSHE in the curriculum should be radically overhauled through a youth-led UK-wide review; they are really important for young people’s growth and development as they teach vital life skills and can be the first steps to engaging young people in political life. Teaching staff should be specifically trained to a national standard to deliver citizenship education following this review.
