MHK backs money management initiative

An initiative taking place this month to teach school students the importance of money management is being backed by Education Minister, Graham Cregeen MHK.

The Money Skills for Schools Week - being held by Old Mutual International - takes place from May 14 to 17 and will engage with around 750 secondary school pupils across the Island.

Financial experts will be on hand to give youngsters important advice to equip them with the knowledge to make informed decisions on a range of money-related topics and issues.

Mr Cregeen calls it a 'fantastic initiative' which teaches valuable life skills in an enjoyable environment.
