A BBC 1 News crew is turning up here in just over an hour to interview my Mum about this story:

Today, Education secretary Charles Clarke is hoping to start a national debate on the nation's essential skills, as he launches a competition to find the top five life skills that all young people should be able to master by the age of 16.

What would you say in interview?

Update: Didn't appear in 6pm BBC1 news. Maybe it'll turn up later or on BBC News 24, or maybe as [livejournal.com profile] djm4 suggests it's an attack of the clones...

Knowing how to use a search engine efficiently, and how to winnow the grain from the chaff in the results. Ditto finding information in a library.

Basic statistics.

Scepticism about what's reported in the news.

How to lose an argument without taking it as a personal insult.

Budgeting.

(I'm not claiming an of those are life skills I've acquired to any great degree, of course.
