What the petition asks
We want the Government to create a new core subject of Life Skills for secondary school students, that teaches children about tax, finances, road safety, how to look after your home (change plug/light bulb etc), communication skills, how to interview for a job, how to create a successful CV, etc.
We believe that under the current education system there isn't enough focus on important life skills students will need in their future as adults. Creating a new core subject of Life Skills, that all secondary students have to take, would help ensure all children receive an education on important life skills.
