Starting in September, Ontario high school students will have to pass a financial literacy test.
Financial literacy and home economics will be part of a "back-to-basics" approach in the classroom, said then-Minister of Education Stephen Lecce said at an announcement on May 30.
Currently, children are getting math learning, which includes the factors to consider for budgeting, such as interest rates, the differences between needs and wants, savings and more complex factors, including foreign currency exchange rates. "So, maybe you’re doing the weekly groceries, and so you have a conversation with your children about how much money are you allocating for groceries," Lavergne says. "Bring them along for groceries, have them keep track of how much they’re spending along the way."
Starting that year, the EQAO math test in Grade 9 will comprise 10 per cent or more of a student's final math mark. The province says this standardizes a practice currently used by many teachers already.1 man in critical condition after being shot in LowertownOttawa Bylaw tells Orleans family to rehome their backyard chickensAn Ontario mother is sharing her story after she says her daughter almost died following a tonsillectomy at McMaster Children’s Hospital.
