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 all editions of the Textbook, along with the accompanying teacher’s guide, free of charge by following the links below.
