Implementation Plan:
1) Implement a curriculum reform in schools which targets the main problem of civilians knowledge of civics in New Zealand through an educational programme such as social studies from higher years of high school where the age requirements of voting is 18 years and above
1) What this ensures if implemented
: Students are receiving constant knowledge of the voting systems and structure of voting through social studies.
2) Allow government resources to collaborate and work on our plan of civics education in schools such as inviting guest speakers or experienced voters to educate students on their knowledge to make learning about civic education not just about the importance but allowing students to form their own opinions on the subject all together.
2) What this ensures if the plan is implemented:
Covers the aspect of students attitude towards the subject and allows them to have a willingness to fully learn about the importance of civic education
3) Feedback monitoring for students: Allows educational professionals to gain feedback on how much the student really understands about the matter and effectiveness of the programme, in the long term, allowing more Kiwis voting, covering the main issue of lack of knowledge
4) Incorporating more student opinion formed activities that aligns with civic education as other countries that have implemented a forced complusory civic education as a subject, students have found boring and not engaging for students
What this means:
Students are guaranteed to engage with the subject at hand such as debates, mock elections and projects where their voices are heard and opinions can be formed freely and encourages others to join in
Evaluation and Impact Metrics:
Impact Metrics
Younger people:
• Are less likely than average to enrol because it’s the law (8%), and more likely than average to enrol
because someone encouraged them to (15%).
• Are now more likely to enrol because they want to make a difference (up to 23% in 2023, from 12% in
2020) and less likely to do so because it’s the law (down to 8% in 2023, from 20% in 2020).
1) Efficiency on civic education in schools
2) Resources are used to measure the efficiency, through feedback and knowledge give positive results
3) Long-term results in voting engagement in New Zealand
4) Improved student knowledge and understanding of the subject
5) Region ties as if implemented compulsory wise it'll allow all regions to engage and form opinions (similar or different)
Evaluation
: Implementing possible reforms reinforces the educational system, which addresses the central problem of uneducated voters in New Zealand.
