This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition All schools should teach "Life Studies"
More details
Schools should offer at least the option for children to learn the key things needed in general everyday life. Life Studies would teach students how to write a CV, open a bank account, good practise concerning debt, writing checks, public speaking, and general car maintenance.
Children leave school with good grades yet they are left not knowing the basics of how to live their life to their full potential. What are students meant to do with A* grades when they don't know how to apply for sixth form or college, university or a job?
These lessons would prepare students for independence. The government should establish this subject, which currently isn't available, so that students are prepared and able to tackle the obstacles real life presents.
