I just saw this news article and I couldn`t be happier. The state of Virginia in the USA is mandating that all public schools must offer personal financial management courses by 2010. Students will learn how to read leases, credit card statements, create budgets, and manage their money. The state is also thinking of mandating this education to be part of the high-school curriculum.
Now if only we could get this type of course to be mandated as part of the Canadian curriculum.
