What Other Extras Does Our Curriculum Need?

Combat sports in schools have been around for ages, but have never been given enough opportunity to develop properly. But now with the Education Ministry looking into providing allocations to develop this further, might we see combat sports taking a more significant position in our school syllabus? Are existing school infrastructure, and our talent scope enough to accomodate combat sports within its curriculum? We unpacked all this with our first expert. After that, following on this vein, we asked our listeners what other subjects or activities they'd like to see being intoduced in schools.
