Teach students about taxes, inflation, mortgages and other real world matters.
From secondary school age, students should have the resolutions towards issues within adulthood introduced into the national curriculum as a mandatory subject. Not just a matter in PSHE lessons of which is briefly
covered. An example of a topic within the subject would be managing financial issues.
After the mild transition towards adulthood, many struggle with managing regular amenities and costs. Therefore our future generation will endure the depletion of their mental health, hence causing them to confide within unnecessary, illegal doings (I.e drugs). Sooner or later, the current government will be bereaved and it will be left to the current schooling generation to manage the country. If only a minimal number of students can handle the real life issues, the country would lose all wealth.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
As part of the citizenship programme of study, which is mandatory in key stages 3 and 4, schools are already required to teach students:
In Key stage 3: the functions and uses of money, the importance and practice of budgeting, and managing risk.
In Ke stage 4: income and expenditure, credit and debt, insurance, savings and pensions, financial products and services, and how public money is raised and spent.

We can accept petitions calling for the Government to create new mandatory subjects, but it would need to be clear what you wanted this subject to cover. Your petition refers to "other real world matters", but it's not clear what you mean by this.
