Hannah and Seagull: Learning Money
How do schools teach children and teenagers about money?
Learning about money is part of the curriculum but more than three-quarters of teachers say young people are leaving school without the money skills they need for adulthood.
We\u2019re going back to school to hear from pupils at Trinity Academy Cathedral School in Wakefield who are learning about money in special classes. We\u2019ll listen in to find out how the experts teach children about credit cards, pensions, budgeting and more.
The government says its reformed the curriculum and invested substantially over \xa3100 million in its Maths Hubs programme.
Felicity Hannah presents alongside the broadcaster, maths teacher and University Challenge alumni Bobby Seagull. They\u2019ll be finding out how it all works from the school\u2019s headteacher Anna Gillinder and Stephanie Fitzgerald, Head of Young People Programmes at The Money Charity.
