澳大利亚众议院议长Milton Dick正推行一项全面的公民教育倡议,以应对民众对民主制度理解不足的问题。1根据澳大利亚教育课程评估报告局的数据,2024年仅28%的10年级学生达到公民素养国家标准,较2019年的38%显著下降,创20年来新低。1Dick已完成200次学校访问,其中澳大利亚总督Sam Mostyn参与了最近一次,他计划今年访问全部150个联邦选区。1
Dick的改革方案包括在第6和第10年级推行全国统一的公民教育课程。1此外,每名联邦议员将获得一根仪式权杖用于课堂访问,新成立的全国青年议会将使年轻澳大利亚人赴堪培拉体验立法过程。1这些举措旨在培养下一代对民主的认识。Dick指出,全球仅31个国家被列为自由民主制度,全球四分之三的人口生活在专制统治下。1
Australia's Speaker of the House of Representatives Milton Dick is undertaking an ambitious push to revitalize civic understanding among Australians through targeted school visits and curriculum reform.1 Dick has already completed 200 school visits and plans to reach all 150 federal electorates this year as part of his effort to strengthen democratic engagement.1
The initiative responds to alarming trends in civic literacy among young Australians.1 According to the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, only 28 percent of Year 10 students met the national civic and citizenship standard in 2024, a significant decline from 38 percent in 2019.1 Dick advocates for the implementation of a nationally consistent civic education curriculum in Years 6 and 10 to address this deterioration.1 He has highlighted the broader global context, noting that only 31 countries are classified as liberal democracies while three-quarters of the world's population lives under authoritarian rule.1
The Speaker's broader vision includes institutional measures to deepen young Australians' connection to parliamentary processes.1 Each federal MP will receive a ceremonial mace to use during classroom visits, and a new national youth parliament will enable young Australians to travel to Canberra to experience the legislative process firsthand.1 Australia's Governor-General Sam Mostyn participated in Dick's 200th school visit, underscoring official support for the initiative.1
