The Pew Research Center report has found that nearly a third of young people express lower support for core democratic principles in a report on civics learning and engagement, suggesting that civics education is essential for students' survival. The researchers argue that civic education is more than teaching the structure and function of government but also encompasses skills of active citizenship and values embedded in our founding documents. They argue that students of all ages should have the opportunity to learn and practice engaged citizenship. The Salt Lake City School District has introduced the Seal of Civic Readiness in Utah for students who demonstrate strong civic knowledge, skills and engagement through coursework, service learning, and active participation in their communities. The authors also suggest that civic readiness should be built throughout a student's entire K-12 education. They suggest that if we want students to change the world, they must believe their actions can make a difference.
