Introduce more useful lessons into the secondary curriculum.
Introduce lessons such as self defence, basic life skills for example, how to apply for a job, how to set up a bank account etc, teach about sexual orientation, sexual harassment, consent etc.
Many young people leave school not knowing basic life skills that they thought school would’ve taught them, they then end up unemployed not knowing how to apply for a job or set up a bank account. We believe that simple lessons teaching these skills could help lower the rates of things such as unemployment, rape, teen pregnancies and homelessness.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Many of the issues your petition talks about are already included in the National Curriculum. For example, in Key Stage 3 and 4, the citizenship curriculum allows for the teaching of day-to-day money management and PSHE allows for the teaching of consent. We're therefore not sure what further action you'd like to see.
