But it is not mandatory and many states only make passing reference to it in primary school.

Year 10 students\u2019 results have shown a substantial decline since 2004.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests many young people are leaving school without the knowledge, skills and values to sustain our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Both\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aec.gov.au\/About_AEC\/Publications\/files\/youth-study\/youth_electoral_study_02.pdf\">Australian<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-319-39357-5\">international<\/a>\u00a0studies have repeatedly shown civics and citizenship education makes a positive difference to young people\u2019s political participation (including the likelihood they will vote), understanding of democracy and support for democratic values.<\/p>\n<p>What does good civics education look like?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Make sure it has its own subject<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>At the moment, civics education might be included as part of students\u2019 work in history or other humanities subjects. But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/j.1540-4560.1998.tb01229.x\">research shows<\/a>\u00a0it should be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10964-022-01639-9\">taught as a separate subject<\/a>, otherwise it can get lost among other material.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2.

Many will vote in elections before they even leave school.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Make it relevant to young people<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As important as they are, some aspects of civics \u2013 such as lawmaking or how parliament works \u2013 may seem dry to young people.<\/p>\n<p>Research shows teachers need to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/content\/journals\/10.1146\/annurev.polisci.4.1.217\">make the content engaging<\/a>. This means students are shown how lessons\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/1532673x11419492\">relate to the real world<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a lesson on how parliament works could focus on the passage of contentious legislation such as banning social media for young people. Or lessons on misinformation could look at how social media had an impact on a particular issue or election.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Have class discussions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Research also shows students need to learn civics knowledge, skills and values\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.annualreviews.org\/content\/journals\/10.1146\/annurev.polisci.4.1.217\">in various ways<\/a>, including role play, problem-solving, simulations and direct instruction.<\/p>\n<p>Students should be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/00131881.2024.2398460\">encouraged to ask questions<\/a>\u00a0in an open classroom environment.

This way, they see first-hand how elections work and how voting can have an impact on their lives.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6. Train teachers in law and government<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It is also important for teachers to have specific training in law, government or politics.
