Financial Services: Curriculum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to support teachers to deliver effective financial education in the new national curriculum.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The government is committed to strengthening pupils’ foundational understanding of financial education in mathematics and citizenship following the publication of the Curriculum and Assessment Review's final report in November 2025. From budgeting to understanding credit, all children will learn about the fundamentals of money and develop the skills needed to succeed in the modern world.
My department will engage with sector experts and young people in how best to reflect this in the updated curriculum. There will be public consultation on updated curriculum Programmes of Study in 2026, seeking views on the content before they are finalised. We intend that the new financial education will be taught for the first time from September 2028.
