My Money Week is run by the Personal Finance Education Group (PFEG). The annual themed week provides a focus on financial capability for young people in primary and secondary schools so they can learn more about managing money in a practical and relevant way.
The week’s aim is to weave finance education into the curriculum, says the chief executive, Wendy van den Hende. “It’s vital for young people to leave school with the ability to manage their money so they don’t get into difficulties. With mortgages and rising university fees, debt is an everyday part of our life. We advise schools to do something substantial on finance education each year so children can understand the territory.”
