The Financial Education Petition is a petition which has been set up by consumer focused websites MoneySavingExpert and Mumsnet. The aim of the petition is to restore legislation to make personal finance education a compulsory part of the curriculum in schools from September 2011 – as part of statutory Personal, Social, Health and Economic education.
We blogged about the importance of a financial education for children back in March and wholeheartedly support this petition to help future generations manage their finances better and have the knowledge to work through their finances if they find themselves in debt.
If this is a cause that you care about, please visit www.financialeducationpetition.com before the 27th May to add your signature.
