How to teach financial education
Financial literacy cannot and should not be taught in a vacuum. Education for the development of finance-related knowledge and understanding, attitudes and skills requires that students can appreciate the personal, societal and cultural relevance of knowledge learnt and can apply it to solve common, everyday problems.
