Financial education at school, the choice of government
The Competitiveness bill was approved today by the Council of Ministers which, among other things, introduces financial education as a compulsory subject in schools, as part of civic education. “The government wants to broaden the notions of civic education to also include financial matters, just as I requested since the last legislature with a specific bill – declares Forza Italia senator Dario Damiani, group leader in the commission Balance – I am therefore very satisfied with the government initiative, which recognizes the importance of providing financial skills to all students, informing them from a very young age of the opportunities and risks of managing their own economic resources. Our boys suffer from a gap in economic and financial matters compared to European peers that needs to be filled and school education will be the crucial support in this important task”.
