Recommendation 11
11
Rejected
Paragraph: 44
Cross-curricular financial education lacks coherence without a dedicated co-ordinator.
Recommendation
A cross-curricular approach in which aspects of financial education are taught in various subjects across the curriculum helps pupils to understand its relevance in different contexts. It also has the benefit of offering students some form of financial education, whatever their subject preferences may be. This approach, however, can lead to a lack of coherence in what is taught between subjects. A financial education co-ordinator would provide their school with a more coherent programme of study and clarity over curriculum requirements.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government declines to mandate or provide guidance for financial education coordinators, stating that schools are free to make such decisions themselves and referring to existing Maths Hubs. Broader curriculum changes will be considered following the Curriculum and Assessment Review.
