Ontario’s new Grade 10 career studies curriculum focuses on financial literacy

Stephen Lecce is sworn in as Ontario's Minister of Education at Queen's Park in Toronto on June 20, 2019.Ontario’s new career studies curriculum for Grade 10 will include learning about financial literacy, including having students make a plan to fund their first year after high school.

Lecce says the mandatory course will focus on “monetizable skills” and the jobs of the future, such as those in science, technology, engineering and math.He says it will also teach students about the workplace implications of social media and how to protect their privacy online.

Very concerning! Is this the charge it plan and fingers crossed it balances itself...you know the 🤥 liberal way of taking care of business and rule of law.

I'm not opposed to this being added but 1000% honest just got my sons last report card and included was a newsletter that wanted to 'thank and wish the best to' over 15 staff who WONT be returning n 7 were special ed teachers. I know the amount of kids hasn't decreased....

I think it is great.. They just have to make sure the teachers are well aware of new financial management platforms like virtual banks, financial mgmt apps, etc. This generation will not do a budget on a spreadsheet.

Please expand it... it should be comprehensively integrated through the grades like health. Onpoli

Wait until the OPC calls this indoctrination in 20 years.

It's a good idea , students have to know basic skills of finacial planning when graduate from high school.

Wait? No sex? Gender identity! Gay politics? Union rhetoric? How to protest?

Although this change was initiated by past Liberal government I am glad it has been kept in new curriculum.

Well I hope the Conservatives aren’t writing the curriculum as their record at handling money is far from stellar.

Finally. Our students need more curriculum updates!

Umm my son has already done that in economics nothing new

Good. Far more relevant than some of the nonsense they are teaching.

Please make DoFo take it

good about time
