Petition Review the curriculum to prioritise practical skills
The government should review the curriculum to prioritise practical skills like financial literacy, digital skills, and effective communication. We think this would replace outdated topics with real-world applications. Teach problem-solving, digital skills, and real-world applications.
More details
We think the entire education system needs a complete overhaul. Excessive testing must end, and the focus should shift to removing irrelevant topics that students find disengaging. In our view, some students barely grasp basic English, yet they are forced to study Shakespeare and what we see as needless topics like angles in polygons. AI is transforming how we access information, and we think the priority should be creating capable individuals ready for the real world—not mentally stressed kids forced to study irrelevant topics for hours each week.
