Closed petition Introduce independent life skills In schools

Closed on

We are a campaign called Lessons4Life, we are raising awareness that young people aren't being taught in school how to deal with real life situations (such as changing a fuse) We need your help to make a change !

We carried out a survey which revealed that 93% of participants did not understand what a mortgage was. One survey participant stated ‘We aren’t taught these skills at all. I am about to go into year 10 and I have no clue how to pay tax or mortgage.’ This supports our campaign proposal and highlights that this issue needs to be made aware and eventually resolved.
