A primary curriculum for
economics, business, finance
Ever wished you'd been taught about personal finance and economics when you were at school?
Why does it matter?
English-speaking nations lag behind in financial literacy¹
In the UK average debt per person has risen to 109% of average earnings²
Over half of UK adults have insufficient emergency savings³
We don't think children should have to wait until they're adults to learn how money works and how to manage it. Tykeoons is working to get fun, engaging and impactful lessons about economics, business and finance into primary schools.
