Recommendation 14
14
Accepted
Paragraph: 54
Simplify access and selection of high-quality financial education teaching materials for teachers.
Recommendation
There is no shortage of financial education teaching materials, yet the evidence tells us that these materials are often unsuitable, the sheer quantity is unhelpful to teachers looking for appropriate resources and that, consequently, they are not being utilised in schools. Whilst it is right that schools should be able to determine which materials they use to teach financial education and that the Government should not prescribe which books and resources ought to be used in schools, we believe that the Department can and should make the process of finding and selecting high-quality financial education teaching materials easier for teachers.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government will consider the suitability of teaching support after the CAR outcomes, but highlights existing central support, including Money and Pensions Service guidance, the Financial Education Quality Mark, Oak Academy resources, HMRC's Tax Facts, and Home Office materials, to help teachers find high-quality resources.
