I believe that schools and educational institutions should teach a lot more usefull skills than just academic stuff that is of little or no use in everyday life. (Additional Maths comes to mind...hehe) Personal Financial managment is one skill that will be of immense help in life. The FUND STRATEGY opinion may seem to go against this view. However the educators, will have to spend energy and time to design PFM modules that takes into consideration the age of the child, and make it useful and interesting.The complexity can be increased as the child goes up the education ladder. I am one of the happy parents who applauded Bank Negara's Credit Counselling Bureau when they announced that PFM was going to be part of the National Service curriculum. Certainly money camps will be good alternatives. I am just concerned that a period of intense lessons (like during a camp), may not have the same effect as continuos studies.
