Petition Action

Teach taxes in school

Petition Details

In school you learn times tables, how to find x but what we really need to learn is how to do taxes and pay bills.
I believe that in year 9 and up should have a lesson weekly about taxes

Additional Information

In the future everyone will need to be able to do taxes but if school doesn't teach you how to do it then you need to ask someone else to explain it or on the internet. But why should people have to learn how to do it on their own when they could do it with the help and support of their teachers and classmates.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand you are concerned about opportunities for life skills and financial education at secondary school, however students can already be taught about personal finances and economics through the Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum.

You can read more about the PSHE curriculum here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-social-health-and-economic-education-pshe/personal-social-health-and-economic-pshe-education.

If there are other skills you'd like to be taught as part of the National Curriculum, you could start a petition clearly setting out what they are
