Make 'Personal Finance' a statutory subject of the National Curriculum
There's a dearth of knowledge of personal finance when children finish school. Fundamental concepts like budgeting, investing, pensions and debt aren't well understood.
Making 'personal finance' a compulsory subject across Key Stages 1 to 4 will help bridge that gap for a thriving future society.
There has been government guidance that personal finance topics be included in key stages 3 and 4, but it's estimated that less than half of schools teach it.
The Office for National Statistics reported in 2018 that for the first time in 30 years, 'each UK household spent or invested around £900 more than they received in income in 2017.'
Clearly there is still a deficiency in basic concepts of personal finance.
Personal finance should be a statutory compulsory subject from Key Stage 1 to 4.
