civics education
Government literacy training
Civics education is instruction in the rights, duties, and responsibilities of citizenship.
It typically covers how government works, the constitution, voting, and participation in democratic processes.
The term often appears in debates about what schools should teach: We need better civics education so young people understand how laws are made.
