Principals concerned about Labour's financial education policy

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 21 August 2023

The Principals Federation is concerned about Labour's policy of compulsory financial literacy programmes for all school students, saying it will put schools under more pressure.

The policy would see all students taught key financial skills such as budgeting, saving and investment with the programme taught alongside maths and social science.

President of the Principals Federation Leanne Otene spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
