Closed petition Life skills should be compulsory education from the age of 5 yrs to 18 yrs

Closed on

Young adults don't have the life skill required to become a valued member of the community, they need to understand how our society works, tax, social services and amenities, having an enormous financial cost to our society,they also do not understand relationships, social responsibly and parenting

I have found that many young people become adults, not having a basic understanding of how our society functions, they don't know about the tax system, how the welfare state works or is funded, they don't understand social responsibly,
This proposal would give a child 13 years of education on how relationships work ,respecting other, parenting skills, budgeting skill, becoming part of the community and understanding that responsibility.
It would also help understand social responsibility
