Our range of Teacher Training will help you develop and deliver effective and engaging financial education within the secondary curriculum in a way that is real and relevant to your students.
Your Money Matters has been designed for use with young people aged 14 – 16 and covers topics including spending and saving, borrowing, debt, insurance, student finance and future planning. It is the very first financial education textbook, and following the successful roll-out into schools in England in 2018 we are excited to be bringing nation-specific versions to Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, too.
The Money and Pensions Service and Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, have split the cost of developing these country-specific editions of Your Money Matters.
You can download the England, Northern Ireland and Scotland editions of the Textbook, along with the accompanying teacher’s guide, free of charge by following the links below. The Wales edition will be available in Autumn 2021.
