Finance Education for Young Adults

  The world of personal finance has become increasingly complex and providers of financial services are at a considerable advantage to the public. The skill base required to assess financial products has broadened. Coupled with increasingly poor levels of numeracy, many school leavers are making poor financial decisions. An A Level in Finance would tackle many of these problems.

  Finance education needs to be;

  • Independent of financial service firms,
  • Critical, generating an ability to analyse/criticise,
  • Mathematical, since it is inherently a quantitative topic and
  • Relevant and applied to choices that people make.
