More details
We are living in a rapidly changing world of technology, yet the UK state school system still appears to be in the Victorian times.
We need to prioritise 11-16 students to leave school not deficient in essential skills required for life- a knowledge of the law, banking, money management and debt, health and diet, culinary skills, the environment, music, forging positive human relationships and public speaking skills has never been so paramount.
