tabling member constituency	Wimbledon
tabling member printed	Stephen Hammond
uin	197439
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2023 answer text <p>Education on financial matters helps to ensure that young people are prepared to manage their money well, make sound financial decisions, and know where to seek further information when needed.</p><p>At primary school, financial education is included in the mathematics curriculum. In the curriculum, there is a strong emphasis on the essential arithmetic that pupils should be taught. This knowledge is vital, as a strong grasp of mathematics will underpin pupils’ ability to manage budgets and money, including, for example, using percentages. The mathematics curriculum also includes specific content regarding financial education, such as calculations with money.</p><p>Primary schools can also teach financial education through citizenship. Although this is not part of the National Curriculum until Key Stage 3, the Department has published a non-statutory citizenship curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, to support schools to ensure that pupils are taught how to look after their money and realise that future wants and needs may be met through saving. There is also a wide range of resources available for schools, including the Money and Pension Service’s (MaPS) financial education guidance for primary and secondary schools in England. This can be found here: <a href="https://maps.org.uk/2021/11/11/financial-education-guidance-for-primary-and-secondary-schools-in-england/" target="_blank">https://maps.org.uk/2021/11/11/financial-education-guidance-for-primary-and-secondary-schools-in-england/</a>.</p><p>The Department continues to work with MaPS and HM Treasury to consider the evidence and explore opportunities to promote the importance of financial education to schools. The Department is currently working with MaPS to deliver financial education webinars this academic year, promoting the importance of financial education and building teachers’ confidence in this area.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/09/2023 11:22:19 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2023 answer text <p>We are aware of the difficulties British National (Overseas) (BN(O)) status holders are experiencing in seeking early withdrawal of their pension held by the Mandatory Provident Fund in Hong Kong. The root of the problem is the Chinese Government's decision not to recognise the BN(O) passport as a valid identity document in Hong Kong. The UK firmly opposes the discrimination of BN(O)s in this way. We have urged the Hong Kong authorities to facilitate the early drawdown of funds as is the case for other Hong Kong residents who move overseas permanently.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/06/2023 16:53:16 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government wants all young people to manage their money well, make sound financial decisions and know where to seek further information when needed.</p><p>The Department works closely with the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) and HM Treasury to consider the wide range of evidence for financial education, including reports from the Centre for Financial Capability, and to explore the opportunities to improve access for all pupils to high quality financial education.</p><p>MaPS has a statutory duty to develop and co-ordinate a national strategy to improve people’s financial capabilities and their ten-year strategy, published in 2020, set out their national goal that two million more children and young people will receive a meaningful financial education by 2030. The strategy is supported by Delivery Plans for each nation of the UK, which are available here: <a href="https://www.maps.org.uk/uk-strategy-for-financial-wellbeing/" target="_blank">https://www.maps.org.uk/uk-strategy-for-financial-wellbeing/</a>.</p><p>The Department has introduced a rigorous mathematics curriculum which provides young people with the arithmetic that pupils should be taught to make important financial decisions. In the primary mathematics curriculum, there is a strong emphasis on the essential arithmetic that pupils should be taught. This is vital, as a strong grasp of mathematics will underpin pupils’ ability to manage budgets and money, including, for example, using percentages. There is also some specific content on financial education, such as calculations with money. Primary schools can also choose to teach financial education content within their citizenship curriculum, using the non-statutory citizenship curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/citizenship-programmes-of-study-for-key-stages-1-and-2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/citizenship-programmes-of-study-for-key-stages-1-and-2</a>.</p><p>MaPS published guidance for primary and secondary schools in England, to support headteachers to enhance the financial education currently delivered in their schools. The guidance can be found here: <a href="https://maps.org.uk/2021/11/11/financial-education-guidance-for-primary-and-secondary-schools-in-england/" target="_blank">https://maps.org.uk/2021/11/11/financial-education-guidance-for-primary-and-secondary-schools-in-england/</a>.</p><p>The Department and MaPS will deliver a series of joint financial education webinars this academic year, aimed at promoting the importance of financial education for all pupils and improving teacher confidence and knowledge, as well as providing a launchpad for further engagement with training and resources to support continuous improvement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/02/2023 16:42:14 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
