To make it mandatory in schools for kids to be taught about credit and finances

Petition Details

For it to be mandatory for children to learn about finances and credit. Currently children are not taught about the importance and vitality finances or credit. Children need to be taught how crucial they are and how they will help them in later life or even how they could be affected negatively.

Additional Information

I think it is vital part of life.
Our kids are not taught in school how to manage, handle or organise any finances.

How to build credit to help them get homes and cars in later life.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The national curriculum for citizenship already states that secondary school students should be taught about the functions and uses of money, the importance and practice of budgeting, income and expenditure, credit and debt, insurance, savings and pensions, financial products and services, and how public money is raised and spent.

You can read the full national curriculum for key stages 3 and 4 here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-secondary-curriculum
