What Should Be Taught in Schools But Isn’t

Education is supposed to prepare students for the real world, but too often, schools fail to teach the very skills that young people need to thrive after graduation. Instead, the curriculum is filled with outdated or impractical subjects that do little to equip students for adulthood.

Why Social Media Is Endangering Our Children, Urgent Action Is Needed

Social media is not an innocent pastime for children; it is a powerful, addictive force that can shape their self-worth, behaviour, and future in dangerous ways. Without immediate action, more young lives will be damaged or lost, and the cycle of harm will continue unchecked. The responsibility lies with all of us, parents, schools, lawmakers, and tech companies, to act now. Banning phones in schools, enforcing strict age verification, and introducing robust child-safety laws are not optional measures; they are urgent necessities. We cannot afford to wait for another tragedy to spur change. The time to protect our children is today.

When the government subsidises steak dinners in Westminster while a child in the UK skips meals, something is deeply broken. If deprivation becomes acceptable, we risk losing the very soul of our society. It’s time for bold, compassionate leadership that puts children first, not after debates, not after budgets, but now.

More than just economic deprivation, poverty reduces access to opportunity, stability, and wellbeing. Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.
