Lessons in expenditure, budgeting, tax and pensions
The Education Minister believes the private sector could be utilised to teach Manx school pupils more 'real life' skills.
Graham Cregeen was speaking at the launch of Money Skills for Schools week - a financial learning initiative sponsored by Old Mutual Wealth.
Children across the Island's high schools will spend the coming days being taught about budgeting, expenditure, tax and pensions, as they prepare to enter higher education or the workplace.
Mr Cregeen says there's scope for extra hands-on learning in areas outside the traditional curriculum:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
