Access to more comprehensive financial education within schools.
For the government to create a specified curriculum for financial education, built upon the national curriculum currently in place in secondary schools and expand it to be more comprehensive e.g., savings, taxes, and income expenditure. Whilst adding curriculums for primary schools and sixth forms.
Financial illiteracy negatively affects a large percentage of the young adult population, and to prevent this from impacting more youth in the future, providing better financial education should be a higher priority. Many still lack the resources to learn—resources that could be provided by the education system. According to a report from Santander UK (2024), 1 in 4 young adults aged 18-21 report receiving any financial education at school. Change is necessary.
