"Civic Education Makes a Comeback: A Decade of Decline Reversed. A decade ago, civic education in the United States hit rock bottom, with alarming rates of students graduating without a basic understanding of government, history, and critical thinking skills. However, a recent trend suggests that this downward spiral is finally reversing. According to new data, civic education is experiencing a resurgence, with educators, policymakers, and community leaders working together to revamp curricula and make civics a priority in schools. As a result, students are being equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to engage in informed, active citizenship, sparking hope for a more engaged and participatory democracy."
The decline of civic education hit bottom about a decade ago and is at last on the rebound. This fact brings me hope.
