Moving On magazine Careers and Qualifications for School Leavers
New guidance has been launched by pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) and the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) for teachers and co-ordinators of Citizenship classes, on how to deliver the financial education elements of the new National Curriculum.
The move comes as financial education starts to be taught as part of citizenship lessons in schools across England. The free resource is linked to the new National Curriculum and includes classroom activities.
The decision to embed financial literacy in the new maths and citizenship curriculum was hailed as a “huge victory” by the Personal Finance Education Group with Tracey Bleakley, the pfeg chief executive stating, “Financial education is essential in equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to be able to manage their money well.”
