Closed petition: Add Economics & Business to national curriculum (for entrepreneurial skills)
Closed on
We want the government to introduce Economics and Business to the national curriculum for Key Stage 1, 2 and 3.
We think Business will help children in primary and secondary school develop the necessary entrepreneurial skills, such as how to start/develop a business when they leave school, which could boost productivity.
We believe Economics could help children to gain awareness of how the market operates, both from a micro and macro perspective. This could be particularly useful for young people to make informed investment decision in the future/educate and improve future politicians decision makings. We think it is relevant to everyday life.
