Paragraph: 37
Statutory economic and financial PSHE elements effectively expand financial education.
Recommendation
Making the economic and financial elements of PSHE education statutory at primary and secondary school level appears to us to be a simple and effective way of expanding financial education at both levels and signalling the increased importance of the subject to all students.
