A renowned Canadian university has launched a bizarre 'Adulting 101' crash course for pampered students who can't perform the most basic life tasks like changing a tire, buying groceries or doing laundry.
In an era dominated by digital innovation, Generation Z - or those born between 1997 and 2012 - are in desperate need of practical knowledge that older generations might otherwise consider 'common sense'.
'I don't know how to change a tire. I don't have a car at all,' Aldhen Garcia, a first-year student at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), told CBC's The Current.
'I don't know how to sew,' he added. 'I don't know how to do a lot of things, other than cooking.'
The University of Waterloo, a top-ranked institution in Ontario known for its programs in math, computer science and engineering, has responded to the growing demand by launching the online course - Adulting 101.
