Finally we should get Financial Education in every school. Thanks to Becky Francis who led the Curriculum Review for letting me feed in. Below's the quote I agreed for its press release, which explains things... --- Martin Lewis, MoneySavingExpert founder, who funded the first curriculum-mapped financial education textbook (via Young Money charity) and sent 400,000 copies to UK schools, said: “I’ve been campaigning to get financial education in all schools since 2010. We live in one of the world’s most competitive consumer economies – firms spend billions on advertising, marketing and teaching staff to sell, yet we get no buyers’ training. Instead, our children are sent out into a world of scams, dodgy deals and debt, without the tools to cope. "While financial education is already on the secondary school curriculum, in many it isn’t compulsory, and only one in three pupils remember getting it – even though it’s the single biggest subject pupils request to be taught, and the one most parents ask for. This review importantly recommends financial education must be significantly strengthened within Citizenship (and financial numeracy taught in maths) in secondary schools, and for the first time included in primary schools’ curriculum too. Citizenship is a compulsory part of England’s national curriculum, and the key to all this is soon all state schools will have to follow that curriculum. “Of course, even if the Government fully enacts this review, as is expected, the detail will matter. Intention's nowt without proper implementation – teacher training, resources for schools and enthusiasm. Yet right now, after all these years, I’ll settle for cheering a big intention to improve things. ”Intention's nowt without proper implementation – teacher training, resources for schools and enthusiasm.
