Why do we study civics?

We study civics to understand the principles and functions of government, our rights and responsibilities as citizens, and the importance of civic engagement in a democratic society. This knowledge empowers individuals to participate meaningfully in political processes, advocate for their communities, and uphold democratic values. Additionally, civics education fosters critical thinking and informed decision-making, essential for navigating complex social and political issues. Ultimately, it cultivates active and responsible citizenship.
