Sixth Form students at Magna Academy had an assembly led by Angela Jarman from Bournemouth University about this week’s Presidential Election.
Learning about the American election ultimately broadens sixth form students’ knowledge of global politics and prepares them for more informed civic engagement.
Furthermore, the high-profile nature of U.S. elections means they’re widely covered in global media, often with varying interpretations. Analysing the election encourages students to critically evaluate news sources, question biases, and develop media literacy.
