Rejected petition Make It Mandatory for a Life Skills Class to be Taught in Secondary Schools

Young people and adults alike are asking why they weren't taught about certain things in school. How to calculate tax, how to get a loan, how to maintain stable relationships, and how to find a job are just some of the many questions people are asking when it comes to what schools AREN'T teaching!

More details

We NEED mandatory Life Skills classes to be introduced into secondary schools, so young people can learn about the realities of life and how to make a life for themselves.

We need to guide their talents so they can find jobs suited to them. We need to provide extra knowledge on sexual and mental health issues, identifying causes of conditions, symptoms, and educating students on possible treatments for those affected, so they can live happier, healthier lives.

We need Life Skills Classes!
