uin	167382
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2021 answer text <p>It is important that pupils are well prepared to manage their money, make sound financial decisions and know where to seek further information, if required. The Department has introduced a rigorous mathematics curriculum, which provides pupils with the knowledge and skills to make important financial decisions and has also published statutory and non-statutory programmes of study for mathematics and citizenship that outline what pupils should be taught about financial education from Key Stages one to four.</p><p>In 2014, for the first time, financial literacy was made statutory within the National Curriculum as part of the citizenship curriculum for 11 to 16 year olds. To enable schools to plan their whole curriculum, we also published a non-statutory citizenship curriculum for Key Stages one and two, which is clear that, by the end of primary education, pupils should be taught how to look after their money and realise that future wants and needs may be met through saving.</p><p> </p><p>In the primary mathematics curriculum, there is a strong emphasis on the arithmetical knowledge that pupils should have. This knowledge is vital, as a strong understanding of numeracy will underpin pupils’ ability to manage budgets and money. There is also some specific content about financial education, including calculations with money.</p><p> </p><p>Primary schools are free to include additional content on financial management in their curricula, including working with external experts. The Department does not monitor this and trusts schools to use their professional judgement and understanding of their pupils to develop the right teaching approach for their particular context.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to work closely with the Money and Pensions Service and other stakeholders such as Her Majesty’s Treasury, to consider what can be learned from other sector initiatives and whether there is scope to provide further support for the teaching of financial education in schools.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 164523 164524 question first answered 16/03/2021 14:46:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member printed	Anneliese Dodds
uin	167299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2021 answer text <p>The objective of the Job Retention Bonus (JRB) was to incentivise employers to retain employees between November, when the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) was due to end, and the end of January through a £1,000 bonus paid to the employer. However, the subsequent extension of the CJRS to April (now September) allowed employers to retain their staff during that period by covering 80% of the furloughed employees’ wages. Given this further extension to the end of September, the policy intent of the JRB falls away.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains committed to redeploying a retention incentive at the appropriate time.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/03/2021 13:54:48 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
