Literacy is when you consume information, maybe with some critical thinking. But competency is when you find out what's going on together with your classmates. So it's exercising the civic muscle. And our young people, our 15-year-olds, are top of the world when it comes to civic knowledge, according to ICCS in 2022.

It's a popular petition.
