    Banjac, Marinko
    At a time when young people's lack of interest in politics is an ongoing problem, citizenship education is an important framework for improving the youth's political literacy and the promotion of ... political participation among them. The article addresses the position of political participation as a topic in the Slovenian education system and specifically within the compulsory basic school subject Patriotic and civic culture and ethics. It offers a critical reflection on the various theoretical contributions to the understanding of the role of citizenship education (especially within formal education) in delivering political literacy and knowledge to pupils about political participation. The article also presents how citizenship education is systematized within the Slovenian formal education system and reflects how political participation is addressed and presented in relevant documents, such as the White paper on education in the Republic of Slovenia. One of the findings is that the White paper not only expresses the need for strategic inclusion of political participation as a topic within education in general, but also identifies students' political literacy as an objective to change the widespread negative portrayal of the political that exists within Slovenian society. The article also analyses the knowledge of Year 9 Slovene basic school pupils on political participation. To this end, it interprets pupils' achievements (n = 3849) in selected questions from the National Assessment of Knowledge (NAK) in Patriotic and Citizenship Culture and Ethics subject. The NAK is a special assessment of knowledge procedure within the formal education system, in which all pupils (Year 6 and 9) in the country, on the same day, complete the same tests under the same conditions. Student achievement scores (n = 3849) for the questions covering the topic of political participation show that they are very familiar with the basic rules and norms of democratic participation, but they show less knowledge of the effects of participation in elections. The results also show that they are only partially aware or able to explain unconventional forms of political participation, but at the same time demonstrate the ability to plan a democratic decision-making process in a group such as the school class.
