Mine is that schools should teach more non academic subjects like car mechanics. Things like history aren't relevant to a lot of students, so broaden the curriculum by teaching them things they'll engage with.

Many children do engage with History. Not me, but many do 😁. Or is this more of a question of what should be funded publicly in education?

My hill to die on is that there should be a high quality local gym and fitness centre that is accessible to everyone young and old. And that people should be encouraged (maybe subsidised) to take active exercise choices throughout their whole life.

That's a brilliant idea!
