Aims

Programme 2 develops the financial themes raised in the programme 1, and has common aims. The learning outcomes identified for programme 1 are also relevant here. However learning activities could be designed to achieve different aims and specific outcomes.

  • to give further insight into the family’s attitudes to personal financial management
  • to help students to reconsider their own attitudes to managing their finances
  • to encourage students to investigate sources of information about more financial issues
  • to increase students’ knowledge and understanding of how to manage their own money now and in the future

  • compare different ways of raising money to buy major items
  • plan a budget for an 18 year old going to study or work away from home for the first time
