Financial literacy is a fundamental life tool. Teaching our kids about financial management from a young age should be a high priority as this is now recognised as an important stepping stone to financial success.
Fortunately, secondary school teachers now have access to free teaching resources through not-for-profit organisations such as the Financial Basics Foundation. These resources can help students become well-equipped to make informed financial decisions and fight spending temptations; better enabling them to set and reach their financial goals.
What is the Financial Basics Foundation?
The Financial Basics Foundation is an independent charity that provides free financial literacy teaching resources to all Australian secondary schools, some charities and registered training organisations. The Foundation’s vision is
“Helping to ensure that all young Australians leaving the secondary education system have an understanding of the credit system and financial management practices, so that they can make informed decisions on their financial affairs”.
