“Knowledge is a very wonderful thing, but how relevant it is if never used in life.”

I have studied many subjects in my school, which I never used in my life. If I review all my subjects from class 1st, actually there are very few which I have used practically. I used to learn the whole syllabus throughout the year and exams were done twice a year. Not only me in fact, all my classmates have done the same.

Most of the subjects I have studied gave me complete information about the history, geography, and trigonometry, etc. In my view, few things must be changed in our education system. It would be appreciable if the below skills also be taught in schools more interactively.

1. Saving money is more important than earning itYes! It’s great that you have all the knowledge and qualification for earning money. Knowing well about managing your expenses is also a very important part of life.
2. How to handle your emotions?
   Anger, smile, love and hates all these emotions should be treated and handled well.
3. Repair and management of your household itemsEither we live alone or with family, but we all have some responsibility towards our family and house. Some knowledge should be given to all students for taking care of our household tasks.
4. Taking care of your relationships in a family care and support
   Everyone is important in life, people we meet, we make friends or we just see, they all have some purpose in our life. I have seen many highly educated people, but they don’t even take care of their parents in old age.
5. Manners and etiquettes
   No need to explain how essential they are in life.
6. Failure management
   I come to know this word when I was preparing for job interviews after completion of my masters. Now, after all these years, I think this should be taught in school.
7. Handle online transactionsIt is a very essential part of life, we can’t carry cash after a limit. Nowadays there are plenty of applications available to do online transactions. So no need to wait, learn any of them, and start doing your essential work by yourself.
8. Survival hacksWhichever country we live in, we can’t not say that we are 100% secure from disaster. Basic survival hack should be taught to everyone, despite their subject.
9. Travel planningThe trend is changing now, but solo traveling was never allowed to children before a certain age. Some kids get used to this habit of traveling with parents that even after growing up, they avoid planning their journey.
10. Fundamental rights and dutiesBeing a responsible citizens of a country we all should know what are our fundamental rights and duties.
11. Rules and regulations of the country you live in
    We all should know the road rules implied on us being a citizen of a country.

These were a few things that should be added in our curriculum for upbringing more confident kids..
