This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government
Petition Educate KS4 students with functional skills they can use later in life.
In schools students are taught a variety of different things, but something the education system doesn't teach is functional skills. Being 16 I have no idea how to pay tax or take out a mortgage on a house but we get taught how to analyse 18th century literature..
More details
I would like MORE time dedicated in our schooling (once in KS4) to things we can use later in everyday life in exchange for things that only a small percentage of us will use later in life.
