When I went to school many moons ago, we were taught about how government and voting worked. I don't know if that's been re-introduce again because I believe that it disappeared from the school curriculums.
I have always thought PACER is a good programme, although I find the requirement to visit the War Memorial a bit unnecessary.I think it should be compulsory like they consider doing English classes and Maths to a certain level is a basic requirement.
