Civics Learning Act of 2026 aims to enhance civics education programs in the U.S.
The Civics Learning Act of 2026 seeks to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to bolster civics education programs. It highlights the need for increased civics education to address low proficiency levels among students and to foster a more informed electorate. The bill authorizes grants for activities including hands-on civic engagement, history of the U.S. Constitution, and service learning projects. It mandates that at least 30% of grant funds go to elementary and middle schools, and no more than 40% to high schools.
