<h2>The Morrison Government has announced that students will learn about Australia’s democratic values and political process with new resources for teachers.</h2>
<p>$1 million will be used to create new teaching resources &#8220;to improve how civics and citizenship is taught,&#8221; according to Minister for Education Dan Tehan. The resources will be rolled out to teachers later this year.</p>
<p>Tehan said only 38 percent of Year 10 students were proficient in civics and citizenship.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“We need to ensure students know government works and have a deep knowledge about the history of politics in this country,” Mr Tehan said.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“Australia has a proud democracy where every adult citizen is expected to vote and has the opportunity to engage in the political process.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Our country is stronger when we have informed citizens who understand their responsibilities and the consequences of their actions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>“Our Government will develop innovative resources to help students learn about our democracy, our system of government and our values.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Civics and citizenship education is, in the end, about safeguarding our democracy.”</p>
