Bill > HR114

This resolution recognizes the week of March 10 through 14, 2025, as "Civic Learning Week" in Pennsylvania, emphasizing the critical importance of civic education in maintaining a healthy democracy. The resolution highlights that after initial local observances in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York in 2022, "Civic Learning Week" became a national event in 2023, designed to underscore the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for informed and engaged citizenship. With the theme "Making civic learning a nationwide priority for a stronger democracy," the resolution asserts that civic education is essential for equipping each new generation to participate effectively in democratic processes, contributing to national strength, economic stability, and security. The House of Representatives formally acknowledges both the specific week in March 2025 as Civic Learning Week and the vital role that civic education plays in preparing future generations for meaningful democratic participation.
