Financial education in the classroom


In Scotland, the government has stated that every child should be taught basic financial skills integrated in regular lessons at school, as opposed to rare education through special events or as a part of other subjects. A survey revealed that especially secondary schools do not teach financial and money managing skills as a subject on its own, while in primary schools financial education is more coherent and planned. Also special schools place more importance on finance courses in their curriculum, because it's a necessary aspect of independent living. Scottish ministers and representatives from the financial services are now working out a plan that may already be introduced next year, so that all Scottish children are thought the basic financial knowledge they need in life.

Also use 'futhermore', it is better at the beginning of a sentence special schools place more importance on finance courses in their curriculum, because it's a necessary aspect of independent living.
