The Commission for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income promotes financial education from 5-105. The vision is for all New Zealanders to be financially sorted throughout their lives. The more New Zealanders know about money and how to manage it, the better placed they are to improve their standard of living throughout their lives, including in retirement.

Financial literacy is a vital life skill. The provision of financial literacy knowledge within schools is essential if our students are to participate, contribute and function fully both within New Zealand society and the world beyond.

The National Strategy for Financial Literacy has as one of its platforms "Working Together". While we know that financial education should be happening within schools, in reality is it? Only by working together will we successfully lift our levels of financial literacy.

This CORE breakfast session will:

• discuss why we should prioritise the teaching of financial education
• share cross-curricula examples of financial education
• explore the learning frameworks and resources available
• discuss approaches being used in schools around the world
• introduce the financial literacy component of the PISA study

This session will be particularly useful for school leaders and classroom practitioners at all levels with a role in developing and supporting the inclusion of financial education within classroom programmes.

Breakfast will be served at 7.45am, with Diana beginning the discussion at 8am. She will wrap things up around 9am but you are invited to stay and chat with Diana, CORE staff and one another after the seminar.
