WHAT SHOULD SCHOOL TEACH?

 Currently the educational programme is outdated and no longer covers basic needs. With traditional teaching methods young people are not prepared for adulthood. They do not know how to write a CV, find a job, or market themselves effectively. That is why we should start thinking about a change.

Observing the contemporary world I realised that soft skills are essential for finding employment  and getting involved in society. Schools should focus on teamwork, preparation of presentations, writing texts, and methods to captivate people's attention. I can confidently say that these lessons will be useful for everyone, to be a good parent, a partner, a boss or an employee.

But being an expert in your field and being capable of convincing people and explaining yourself is not enough to achieve a stable adult life. With inflation and the unexpected rapid global changes  we must learn how to manage and increase our savings. In spite of having high incomes, if we do not learn how to handle them we will not find financial stability. That is why we should get involved in basic economical topics and be attentive in the news.

To sum up, the educational programme is outdated and to enhance the academic training there are two crucial topics to incorporate: financial literacy   and soft skills. The learning of these powerful, relevant and essential abilities will be helpful for a successful transition into adulthood and will benefit us throughout our lives.
