Links With Curriculum for Excellence
Financial Education is a cross-curricular theme that can be incorporated into many subjects. Developing each individual’s financial capability, from early years through to 18, can enhance life chances and choices. It can help all young people achieve the four purposes of A Curriculum for Excellence; that is, helping them to become:
  • successful learners
  • confident individuals
  • responsible citizens
  • effective contributors
Financial education is particularly effective in helping young people to become responsible citizens and effective contributors to society and at work, with an informed sense of their roles in the world.

Activities to develop financial capability, where outcomes not only benefit others but also encourage a sense of responsibility to the community and society as a whole, help young people to understand the connections between enterprise and active citizenship.

Because children learn through all of their experiences, the curriculum needs to recognise and complement the contributions that these experiences can make. This is particularly the case in financial education, where many attitudes are based on what young people experience at an early age.
