Money 101: The real reason financial literacy is now mandatory in high school
This week on Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott talk dollars and cents — and more specifically, whether high school students in Ontario know enough about how money works. The Ford government recently announced that financial literacy would be a mandatory course in order to graduate. Why the change? Turns out it all began with a chance encounter at a furniture store between Premier Doug Ford and financial expert Saijal Patel. That initial meeting turned into more meetings, and eventually an announcement that many in the province welcomed. Patel — host of the podcast ‘Strictly Money’ — joins us on the show to explain how it all came together, and why it’s so important that teenagers learn the value of a buck. Also on the podcast this week: A huge honour for one of our journalists.
