Supporting Schools in Teaching Real World Money Skills

[Faheemkhatri4]

In today’s digital world, young learners interact with spending and saving long before they understand it fully. From in app purchases to online subscriptions, kids make choices that affect real money. That’s why financial learning must start young, rather than waiting until teenage years. The vision of 4MQ is to ensure children grow up with strong money skills. primary school financial education
