Title Are teens taught enough life skills to know how to 'adult'? Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet ABC BTN Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 12/06/25 Description In our neck of the woods, just 60 per cent of young Australians say their high school education prepared them for the future, while almost 70 per cent say they've taken some form of online classes in the past year, often to do with learning basic life skills. Those results are from Monash University's 2024 Youth Barometer Survey. Some participants felt high school hadn't equipped them with basic life skills, and it could be hard to learn them on your own.
