They just don't spend much time on it at all is the honest answer, unless you take it as an optional subject in your teens. Most time is taken up with English and Maths, then "oldschool" sciences (Physics/Chem/Bio) then these days, tech subjects. And physical education. Then probably practical subjects like woodworking, art, Home Ec... THEN you have things like history, geography and politics tacked on like an afterthought.
When people
do have a more than absolutely basic understanding of these topics in the UK, it's generally because of self-driven interest.
