PC

  • Integrate financial literacy into the K-12 curriculum

    "A re-elected Progressive Conservative government would introduce common sense financial literacy curriculum throughout the education system. By the time a student graduates high school, they will have learned how to open a bank account and build a household budget. The new curriculum will help students understand:

    ● the difference between debit and credit

    ● interest and inflation

    ● different borrowing mechanisms such as mortgages, leases and loans

    ● savings tools such as Registered Retirement Savings Plans, Tax Free Savings Accounts, Registered Education Savings Plans; and

    ● the difference between stocks, bonds, Guaranteed Incomes Certificates, and more."
