Amendment 502D, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Sater, seeks to ensure that all primary schools teach financial education. As we have heard, being able to manage your money is an essential life skill. The review has heard consistently from children, young people and their parents that they want more focus on the applied knowledge and skills that will equip them for later life and work, such as financial education. Pupils in maintained schools are currently taught about money through the national curriculum requirements for mathematics and citizenship. However, the review is considering whether there is sufficient coverage of key knowledge and skills, including financial education, to prepare young people for future life and to thrive in a fast-changing world.
