Education System Fails Finance Test
According to the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), the financial services industry has slammed Britain’s education system.

The survey also revealed that three-quarters of employers reported shortages of technical skills.
Our view
We have campaigned for financial education in schools for nearly 8 years now. The fact that a child can leave school with no idea what a mortgage is or how to write a cheque but can do Pythagoras is criminal.
There is no preparation for life after school.
