Petition background

Children spend years in school but often leave without essential life skills. Education should focus on budgeting, cooking, bills, employment rights and preparing for adult life.

Additional details

End compulsory school and give families the freedom to choose how their children are educated. Children spend years in school but often leave without essential life skills. Education should focus on budgeting, cooking, bills, employment rights and preparing for adult life.
