How Financial Education Prepares Students for Life: Squirrel Education
Financial literacy is an essential skill that is often left out of educational curricula, leaving many young people unprepared for managing their finances in adulthood. In our latest podcast episode, we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Ben Bolger, co-founder of Squirrel Education, as we explore the urgent need for financial literacy education in schools. We discuss the staggering statistics that demonstrate the prevalence of financial illiteracy, highlighting how it contributes to many of the financial struggles families encounter today.
Join us as we delve deeper into why financial behaviours are just as important, if not more important, than simply imparting knowledge. We shed light on how engaging students through innovative platforms like Squirrel Education can make complex financial concepts easier to grasp and apply. Ben shares invaluable insights on how to break down barriers within educational systems to enable financial discussions and build a culture of money management that extends into students’ homes.
Our conversation reveals the critical role that financial literacy will play in empowering future generations to take charge of their financial lives. We'll explore success stories that highlight the positive outcomes of introducing financial education in schools, and how it encourages students to engage with their finances from a young age.
