Welcome back to another school year teachers!
To kick off the school year, I wanted to talk about the upcoming mandatory Financial Literacy test that high schoolers need to past to get their diploma! Hey, I'm all for it! But what in the world is on it? We all have so many questions, so today we bring in Gary Rabbior, President of the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education. Gary has lead the foundation since 1981. He has developed school curriculum for a number of provinces and written a wide variety of resources including “Money and Youth” which has over 740,000 copies in circulation and “Money and Monetary Policy in Canada” with the Bank of Canada. He has created a number of major financial literacy projects and programs including the “Building Futures” and “Talk With Our Kids About Money Day” programs.
Today we ask the questions:
I hope everyone had a great summer and good luck to the start of the school year!
