Financial education guidance for primary and post-primary schools in Northern Ireland

Endorsed by Northern Ireland’s curriculum body CCEA, the guidance explores how learning about money fits into the Northern Ireland Curriculum. It sets out the steps schools can take to improve and enhance their provision, and highlights the services and resources schools can use to support them. 

The UK Strategy for Financial Wellbeing and Northern Ireland Delivery Plan set a national goal to ensure that 60,000 more children and young people growing up in Northern Ireland receive a meaningful financial education by 2030. This guidance will support primary and post-primary schools to play their part in achieving the goal. 

The guidance will be of use to anyone responsible or accountable for the development and delivery of financial education in schools, including: school leaders and their senior teams; curriculum leads for financial education or relevant Areas of Learning; teachers involved in delivering financial education; and school governors.
