Why was the struggle for the vote important today?
What’s included
This six-lesson Year 8 scheme of work explores the struggle for voting rights and its continuing significance for democracy, equality and representation.
Learners examine how democratic rights have developed over time and consider why campaigns to extend the franchise matter to citizens today. Through studying the historical development of voting rights, learners strengthen their understanding of political participation, social change and the relationship between rights and equality.
The scheme encourages learners to appreciate both the value of the vote and the role active citizens can play in expanding rights and challenging inequality.
