British parents want to see religious studies removed from the curriculum to be replaced by #finance and #healthylifestyle lessons, according to a survey by @MyVoucherCodes. Parents said these subjects would provide #lifeskills that kids will go on to use. https://t.co/2J5gQ9Da4c

The end of term is looming and for many #students they'll need to start thinking about getting a #summerjob to save some pennies before going off to uni. Don't leave it until the last minute to get started on the #jobhunt and take a look at these tips. https://t.co/Tn6iXiILau

Our Finance and Money Management module includes a lesson on #employment - looking for a job. It covers basic CV requirements, where to look for a job, how to apply, and basic interview techniques. We believe in getting young people #futureready.

Is making small talk rather than communicating on an electronic device becoming a lost art form? #Communication is a #lifeskill that we should be teaching young people & in this blog author @jaltucher shares his insights on how to get better at #smalltalk https://t.co/8qeHqstPkd

Should schools teach cooking? "The purpose of school is to provide children with skills & knowledge that will benefit them, and the community. We all eat. We all benefit from a better understanding of food and food preparation." #Cooking #lifeskills #PSHE https://t.co/Fcw2bCRGd3

Leaving home and starting an independent life at uni or work can feel very overwhelming for young adults. We need to make sure this transition is as smooth as possible for our children by preparing them while they're still at school and teaching them life skills #PSHE #lifeskills

“Children growing up today face the most challenging & complex financial landscape of a generation. Education should reflect the times & there is a growing consensus that #ManagingMoney should now form an essential part of setting children up for life.” https://t.co/ihBaOjMF0V

University provides valuable life experience, including, hopefully, learning how to budget from week to week, planning your schedule & managing debts. But wouldn't it be better to arm students with these #lifeskills before they leave for uni? #PSHE https://t.co/NdNg9BztvP

Research published by @suttontrust in October 2017 showed that “Essential life skills such as confidence, motivation, resilience and communication are associated with better academic outcomes and better prospects in the workplace”

60% of children in the UK have no #FirstAid training in school & in @BritishRedCross research of 2000 adults only 2 out of 10 knew how to save a choking baby or would recognise the symptoms of a cardiac arrest. Should we be teaching first aid in schools? https://t.co/QsUZLkdGVl

Such important topics that need more coverage in schools #RSE #PSHE #sexualhealth https://t.co/mrzDFQfCLM

Why is it so important to teach life skills in schools? Young people need these skills to deal effectively with the challenges in everyday life - whether at school, at work or in their personal lives. #lifeskills #PSHE #students

[Big Life Project @biglife_project]

It's shocking to hear about young people getting into debt over their social media facade. It's so important that we educate teens about finances and money management as well self-esteem and all things digital #PSHE #lifeskills #moneymanagement https://t.co/J8UY3Z6lBx
