Recently, a new law in Arizona requires high school students to pass the United States’ citizenship test. There’re 100 questions on US history and government in the test.
The Joe Foss Institute helped created the law. They want to pass a law in each of the 50 states to require high school student to pass the test.
A 2010 national test showed only about 25 percent of students in their final year of high school had a good understanding of American government. Thirty-six percent did not have even a basic understanding.
“That’s a shame, and it’s not only a shame.” Said John Hale, the Associate Director of the Center for Civic Education California. Mr. Hale thinks it is dangerous when citizens do not know or care about how their government works. He says students do not only to learn facts about government. They should also learn how to take part in their communities. “Requiring high school student to take the test might be a way to improve students’ civic behavior,” he says.
But some wonder if a test young people take in high school will make adults more active in their communities.
Sam Stone writes reports for the Joe Foss Institute. He says research shows that civic education does result in more involved adults. He noted a 2012 survey found that the more young people studied civics in high school, the more likely they were to get actively involved in their communities.
In another state, Virginia, many people are against the test. Meg Gruver is the president of the Virginia Education Association. She says student already take classes in civics and US history. And, she says, schools should not have to pay more for the test.
Sam Stone agrees. He says his organization is paying for an online testing website. Schools can use the website to give the test for free.
