What is the significance of a general confession in the Catholic faith and how does it differ from a regular confession?
A general confession in the Catholic faith is a comprehensive confession of all sins a person has committed in their life, typically done before a major event like marriage or ordination. It differs from a regular confession, which is a more frequent and specific confession of recent sins to a priest. The significance of a general confession lies in the opportunity for deep reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal before important milestones in one's faith journey.

How can the youth be mobilized for Catholic Evangelization?
Catholic AnswerWitness, education, and prayer. You have to be a good, committed Christian who has been confirmed and goes to Confession at least every other week, and Mass as frequently as possible. You have to live your live as an evangelizing Christian, then teach that to the youth. Start with prayer and regular confession and Communion. I would recommend getting and reading the book, Forming Intentional Disciples: The Path to Knowing and Following Jesus by Sherry A. Weddell, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and a good spiritual director combined with weekly confession. See link below.
What is a Roman Catholic upbringing?
Roman Catholic AnswerA good Catholic upbringing would be a child who was loved from before they were born.

Among the many ways of doing this are included regular Mass attendance, regular prayer, regular confession, a good education in the faith and a rejection of worldly ways, which, let's face it, are the ways of Satan that Jesus explicitly condemns.

The Catholic Church IS the Christian Church founded by Christ Himself with St. Peter being the first Pope.

However, to answer your question, a Catholic school traditionally was run by religious Sisters, Brothers, or Fathers. This is no longer true in many cases due to the vocation crisis in the past forty years. Also, children in a Catholic school would attend Mass on a fairly regular basis, and have regular visits to the Church, for instance during Lent they would pray the Stations of the Cross. Usually they go to confession as a class, that sort of thing.

How can the sacrament of penance help you live a moral life?
Roman Catholic answerOkay, not to be flip, but, seriously, I think you could reword this question as to how you could possibly lead a moral life without the sacrament of penance? The sacrament of penance is the only normal way in which God forgives sins committed after baptism AND gives His grace in abundance for overcoming those sins which are confessed. All spiritual writers of the past uncounted centuries, included this past one have been unanimous in calling for weekly to every two weeks regular confession. Which is assuming that you are making your examination of conscience every single day at the end of the day. Outside of the miraculous there is no way to overcome any sin, much less mortal sin without regular confession, which is the same way as saying there is no way to assure your spiritual growth and one day attaining heaven without regular confession (the sacrament of penance).Regarding the links below, the first one will take you to The Leaflet Missal Company which offers numerous pamphlets to aid in an examination of conscience to prepare for confession, and about confession. The amazon link will take you to Scott Hahn's book on confession which explains the necessity for it and how to use it properly.

Does donating to a Catholic Church effect getting into the Catholic school?
Roman Catholic AnswerDifferent parishes have different policies for their tuition.
