Schools are teaching money in class, but what are we teaching at home?

About this episode

Yasmin Frazer discusses the importance of financial education in schools and at home.

Financial education is now embedded in maths classes for students in years 0-10, and from next year it will also form part of the social sciences curriculum. Until this year, financial education in schools has been haphazard, with research showing only 20 percent of students received it in some form. Sorted in Schools learning lead Yasmin Frazer joins Nadine to discuss what our kids are being taught about money and why we need to be careful around money conversations at home.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
