Why Financial Literacy Is a Must for Schools

In today's fast-paced world, financial literacy is no longer optional—it’s essential. Research from the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) shows that children who receive financial education early are more likely to make smarter financial decisions as adults. In the UK, recent studies highlight that 70% of 15-18-year-olds feel unprepared for managing their own money, and a staggering 60% don’t know how interest rates work. These statistics reflect the urgent need for schools to step up and provide their students with the financial knowledge to navigate the complexities of the modern economy.

OFSTED Alignment

 Financial literacy is a core component of Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education (PSHE), and introducing our course helps your school meet requirements for personal development. 

School Enrichment

Our course serves as a great enrichment activity, enhancing your students’ real-world skills beyond the academic curriculum. It prepares students for adulthood by teaching them about budgeting, saving, and investing.

Homework Option

Schools are always seeking high-quality, engaging homework material, and our financial literacy course fits perfectly. With interactive tasks and real-life challenges, this course transforms homework into a practical, enjoyable learning experience for students.

We want to provide children with the education we did not receive as teachers. 

That’s where 21 Skills Hub comes in, offering engaging, easy-to-understand financial literacy courses tailored for children aged 7-14. 

Support for Schools and Teachers:

We provide schools with all the tools and resources needed to integrate financial literacy into the curriculum. 

The Urgent Need for Financial Literacy in Schools:

Financial education is crucial for preparing children for the future. According to a 2023 study by the UK’s Money Advice Service, children who receive financial education are 4 times more likely to save regularly and avoid falling into debt as adults. With household debt rising, this education could be the key to helping your students build healthier financial habits.

Workshops for Families

We also offer in-person or virtual workshops for both students and families, ensuring that financial literacy becomes a household skill. These workshops bridge the gap between what children learn at school and how they can apply it at home.

I think that 21 Skills Hub is fantastic. I love that it focuses on what children (& adults, do we ever stop learning?) will need to survive the real world, which is something lacking from most children’s education. The courses easy to access and easy to follow.
