HOW IS FINANCIAL LITERACY RELEVANT IN PRIMARY EDUCATION?
Many studies emphasise the benefits of early exposure to financial literacy, entrepreneurship and project-based learning.
4 Benefits of Early Financial Literacy
1
A study by the University of Cambridge, commissioned by the UK’s Money Advice Service, found that basic money habits are formed by age 7 – this suggests that introducing financial literacy in primary school is crucial for establishing healthy financial behaviours later in life.

The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) highlights that students who receive financial education early are more likely to make informed financial decisions as adults – early education on concepts like saving, budgeting and understanding money can lead to better financial outcomes in adulthood.

Research from the European Commission shows that entrepreneurship education in primary school helps develop key competencies such as creativity, initiative, problem-solving, critical thinking, risk-taking, resilience and leadership – skills that are both valuable for future entrepreneurs, as well as for broader personal and professional success.

An OECD (2018) study also highlights that entrepreneurship education contributes to personal development, social inclusion and active citizenship by fostering a sense of initiative and entrepreneurship from an early age – it argues that when children are taught entrepreneurship, they are more likely to be creative, proactive and adaptable to changes in the labour market in the future.
Empowering the Next Generation Through Financial Literacy
The studies are clear: financially educating our kids is not just beneficial—it’s essential.
By equipping young minds with the tools to understand and manage money, we’re setting the foundation for a brighter future.
Imagine the impact:

• An economy strengthened by ethical practices and widespread prosperity.
