Maths prepares students for the ultimate test — life beyond school. Maths is everywhere, regardless of where life leads you. The more maths you learn, the better you can understand the world.

Financial literacy is more than numeracy, it requires a healthy scepticism of financial institutions and confidence in making financial decisions.
Good financial decision making is about more than avoiding debt or having a budget, it’s about critically analysing your options.
Around a fifth of 15-year-olds in Australia do not have basic financial literacy.
The government has heavily invested in initiatives intended to help children understand finance. But should this be taught by school teachers instead who are sensitive to kid’s backgrounds?
Financial literacy is not just about knowledge, so it would help if we taught it using day-to-day issues.
