Enhancing financial education through teacher and practitioner training: insights from MaPS grant programme
Date: 15 Oct 2024
Details
The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is hosting a virtual event during Talk Money Week (4-8 November 2024) to mark the completion of our £1.1 million children and young people’s financial education grant programme. The programme supported financial education organisations to test new approaches, or scale existing programmes to reach more teachers and practitioners, in order to improve young people’s financial wellbeing. In addition, the programme aimed to build new evidence about:
- effective financial education teacher training and how to scale it – particularly in areas of greater deprivation
- how to provide financial education to children and young people in vulnerable circumstances, including through practitioner training.
The event will take place on Tuesday 5th November, on MS Teams, from 10:30 - 11:45, with a combination of speeches, presentations and panel discussions.
The panel will consist of speakers from Young Enterprise, Young Enterprise Northern Ireland, Just Finance Foundation, National Literacy Trust, Quaker Social Action and Campaign for Learning.
The audience will include a range of stakeholders with an interest in financial education policy, practice and research – including policymakers, financial education funders and providers, wider funders of support for children, young people and families, and academics.
We look forward to you joining us to celebrate the achievements of the grant programme, hear findings from the evaluation, and raise awareness of the importance of financial education training for teachers and practitioners working with children and young people.
