pfeg calls for the coalition government to lead the way in providing financial education for children and young people
Published: 25 May 10
pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) – an educational charity – will celebrate ten years of achievements in personal finance education in schools across the country at the House of Commons today. In a new era of politics pfeg and Prudential (one of its major supporters) are calling for the coalition government to lead the way in supporting the future financial capability of the country by encouraging key decision makers to commit to the following 5 points over the next 5 years: Maintain the momentum – We have a new era and new politics but the same challenge for personal finance education. The work must go on, and is particularly important in the current economic climate. There has been a marked change in the numbers of young people receiving financial education. If we want them to become financially responsible adults who have the skills and confidence to make informed and independent decisions, we must make sure that all schools teach high quality personal finance. Commit to fund – We know what needs to be done and we know how to do it but we will need the resources to address the need for personal finance education. CFEB (the Consumer Financial Education Body) must continue to be a key source of funding for financial capability for school aged children and young people.
