I support the UK Youth Parliament’s campaign for a ‘Curriculum to Prepare Us for Life’ and call on the Government to ensure every young person receives Political education, Sex and Relationships education, Cultural awareness education, Community cohesion education, Finance skills education, Sustainable living education and Citizenship Education by making it a compulsory part of the national curriculum.
I am currently drowning in emails from students who are just as frustrated as I am about how little we actually learn in school. It feels like we are all shouting into the void while the department just stares blankly so I am trying to figure out a way to get someone to actually listen to what we need.

Need this so bad. Everyone deserves to know their rights and how to handle money before being thrown into the world.

Honestly schools teach us nothing about bills or taxes. I had to learn everything the hard way once I turned 18. This is long overdue.

Agree 100%. Schools have been stuck in the past for way too long.
