 "These 10 subjects, not taught in any school, help the most in getting a job")
Many subjects like English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), Social Science (History, Civics, Geography), Economics, Home Science, Sanskrit are taught in every school in India. Apart from these, various foreign languages are also an important part of today’s school syllabus. PT i.e. physical training in the form of sports and yoga is also preferred. Even such a rich school syllabus does not include life skills.
There are many life skills that are very useful throughout life. Some make life easier and some are useful for a job or business. If we start teaching about them from school days, then life can be made very easy. Under the New Education Policy 2020, many changes are being made in school education. It is possible that the future generations can be taught such life skills from a young age, which can also help them build a career.
