Every parent wants to set their child up to succeed in life, and every parent’s definition of success will be different but, ultimately, as long as their child is able to do what they enjoy in life, then parents will consider this a success. As the world evolves, the plethora of specialised jobs available is ever increasing and schools are unable to teach a child every possible subject.

Instead of decreasing the amount of time in each class to include every type of class available, schools in the UK are focusing on key skills which can be transferred across multiple disciplines. This prepares children so that, when they come to an age to decide for themselves as to which career path interest them, they already have the fundamental skills required for the role.

These key skills are mainly split into three categories; Maths, English & Science. Although all three are considered key skills, Maths & English have a more important role for most in everyday lives. Whatever career path you take, you need to be able to read instructions and communicate to others, meaning English will always be needed. The same can be said for Maths, even if you are in a manual job where calculation might not seem to be a necessity, the basic mathematic skills will come in handy for some aspects.

This is reflected when applying for most jobs as they require a minimum level for English and Maths qualifications, it may seem odd but this even translates to the requirements for graduate level positions.
