Quote:The report, Education for Citizenship in Times of Global Challenge, found that girls were far more knowledgeable about how parliament works, globalisation, independence of statutory authorities and voting and representation.

They were more engaged with big issues such as environmental protection and more likely to participate in civic activities.
