The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to improve education on pensions and long-term saving.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The government is committed to strengthening pupils’ foundational understanding of financial education in mathematics and citizenship following publication of the Curriculum and Assessment Review final report in November 2025. The department will be engaging with sector experts and young people in working out how best to reflect this in the updated curriculum. As part of this work, we will consider appropriate content on pensions and long-term saving.

There will be a public consultation on the updated curriculum in 2026, to seek views on the content before it is finalised.
