Which subjects would parents like their children to be taught at school outside of the core curriculum? A new poll has sought to answer this question.
Financial literacy and budget management and mental health awareness topped the list in a poll of 2,500 parents of UK pupils aged five to 16.
Commissioned by the British Council, the poll showed that 59% of the parents wanted their children to be taught personal finance and budgeting in school.
This was followed by mental health awareness (54%), while 48% said schools should teach basic domestic skills and household maintenance.
