Text of Petition
We
call on the National Assembly for Wales to ensure that curriculum for life
lessons are compulsory for secondary schools across Wales and that the content
is reviewed annually by a board of elected young people.
Additional Information
A
curriculum for life would include topics such as; finance, sex and
relationships, politics and basic living skills. Article 28 of the UNCRC states
children have the right to an education. However, the current curriculum is
failing to provide us with the life skills we need.
