Surprised me, too! (as one of authors). There are caveats as outlined in the report, but they go both ways - number may both be lower (because people overestimate when self reporting) and higher (as we found plenty of evidence that people sometimes use stats without realising)

Thanks! They might very well do, and would be fascinating to explore - but this was not one of the areas we specifically explored during the interviews or survey. Partly because we didn't wish to get into too sensitive topics during the interviews.

Amazing, thanks, added all! (and feel free to add me into it🙃).

Thanks! Will take a look and see whether I'm still outraged..

Can't access this due to pay wall. Is there a link to the trial? It sounds frankly ridiculous as they seek to include qual interviews...

Would love to be added, thanks! :)

Jonathan: watch out with messing up with maths curriculum. The U.K. are doing really well on numeracy skills at the moment, against international trends. Thinks it’s great to hear this programme is not necessarily about this.

Ruston: Money drives everything, including mental health.

Bernice: Many different approaches to maths and numeracy in schools. Complicates things if you want to integrate financial education into maths. But financial education is not all about numeracy.

Susannah Hume (lead researcher) says financial education needs to earn its place on the curriculum. There is a research gap on whether teaching about money not only improves knowledge about money but also on behaviour. Our research will hopefully help address this gap.

Jonathan Slater (former DfE perm sec) says there is only so much time in the school day - what has to go? Cooking? PE? Or do we ask for financial education to be included in maths? It’s a zero sum game. Need to make the case well to the DfE
