My Money Week - you asked for it!

100% of teachers surveyed said they would like there to be another National Money Week, so here it is...25th June – 1st July My Money Week 2012.

My Money Week is the highest profile, and most recognised personal finance education initiative in England. June 2012 will see the 4th Annual My Money Week, and we are expecting thousands of teachers across the country to once again take part.

Its fundamental aim is to improve financial capability for young people in primary and secondary schools.

pfeg is proud to run and resource the national activity week and offer FREE resources:

Interactive DVD - order now

To help engage pupils in finance education, we’ve developed interactive videos to challenge them to make tricky financial decisions. Each video is broken up into branching scenes, which end with a tough decision where your class can discuss the choices available and decide what should happen next. The consequences of different choices are then explored in the next chapter.  Order your free DVD now.
