Proper mate. My father was teacher and damn fine one to, but even he said often that there too many things that do not get enough attention in schools as not a large enough part of the population get to go to university. Two of the things he mentioned was finances and politics.
Those who understand proper finances will know when they're being screwed by the government and will then be able to understand that if you voted them in, you can vote them out.
Education is a must in any child's life, but as the world is changing drastically and will do more soon there must be more emphasis placed on teaching what is needed for progress and yes Medicine and engineering is right up there with it as we must engineer cleaner ways of living while engineering better medicines at the same time.
What else is really needed?
