Political literacy

Political literacy is a set of abilities considered necessary for citizens to participate in a society's government.

It includes an understanding of how government works and of the important issues facing society, as well as the critical thinking skills to evaluate different points of view. Many organizations interested in participatory democracy are concerned about political literacy.
