Education shapes tomorrow’s workforce — but are we teaching the right skills? With technology, sustainability, and new industries rapidly growing, many wonder if our school curriculum prepares learners for the jobs of today and the future. What’s your view?

While I don’t agree with teaching sexuality at a very young age, I believe subjects are important to guide children toward careers as doctors, vets, teachers, business owners, HR managers, CEOs, nurses, engineers, or mechanics.
