Probably basic English. I communicate daily.
I'm a teacher now.
I'm told that we use 80% of what we learned in the primary grades on a daily basis. The percent drops off drastically the more advanced our education becomes, in general.
I'd buy that. A lot of what I teach (high school science) is not used by most of my students. Some of my students will use a lot of it frequently, but most will not use it much.

Basic math because I can compare prices by weight or unit, make sure that the checker gives me the right amount of change, calculate how much material will be needed to cover a chair, and a host of other things.

Undoubtedly, math and English are indispensable, but maybe the most "useful" thing I learned is typing. It got me through college classes in fine shape, and was a great asset in preparing reports and studies in my business career.

I think that the most important thing that everyone has learned is the ability to read. If no one learned how to read, we would all be screwed, when it comes to work, social life, as well as other aspects.

In high school: typing class. It was before everyone had PCs (ok, I'm giving away my age), so I never knew how handy it would be to be so swift on a keyboard.
In college: to put cohesive, persuasive thoughts together either in speech or writing.

I learned how to accept other people's ideas and views even though I did not agree with or understand them. I wish more people in this world could learn this valuable lesson!

I learned how to do thorough physical assessments....comes in handy now since I'm middle-aged, in bad health and am my own primary care taker.

How to read & write. Without that, learning anything else in our society is almost impossible.

When I spent time in a recess room, and you weren't allowed to talk (back in the day when they had real schools and real teachers), somebody began talking.
The teacher asked him what was he doing talking.
The student answered..."I was just talking to my friend".
"Friend?", the teacher answered..."If you find one true friend in this life, consider yourself lucky"
Rings true even today. .
