Description: This fairly ground-breaking resource might be exactly what you’ve been looking for….with The Institute for Public Policy and Research and the DFES pushing for financial advice to be included in Citizenship classes, this resource builds upon the advice and information given in ‘At last! Basic Financial Advice for the Upper School’ by the same author, a former financial adviser.
As with the first resource, it is young Cath.D.Spencer who takes the reader through the basic principles of subjects commonly deemed ‘complicated’ by a great many adults: cross-insuring business partners, mortgages, investments, shares and even an easy-going section on pension-planning. At all times, the language is down-to-earth, easily understood and further lubricated by the author’s own humorous illustrations. It is his contention that with the abolition of the poll tax just about everything we do apart from breathe is dependent on money; all pupils should then, he says, leave school with a fair understanding of the stuff that will rule their lives. For students contemplating a career within the financial services industry in particular, the combined information from both resources will provide a rare and comprehensive grasp of money matters; at interview, this could prove invaluable. Contains teacher-guidance notes + question and answer sheets.
