At school our children are taught to add up and subtract but, extraordinarily, are not shown how to open a bank account—let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online petition(请愿)to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from 5 to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say.
And that was exactly the plan enshrined(铭记)in the Children, Schools and Families Bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called "wash-up" earlier this month—the rush to legislation before parliament was dissolved.
Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most confusing omissions of the curriculum. As the Personal Finance Education Group(PFEG)points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. PFEG predicts that these young people will "find it much harder to avoid the serious pitfalls that have befallen many of their parents’ generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school. "
The UK has been in the grip of the worst financial recession for generations. It does seem odd that—unless parents step in—young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. Chris Tapp, from money education charity Credit Action, puts it succinctly(言简意赅地):"It’s like we’ve been sending out people to drive without first giving them instruction—and then being shocked when they crash. It’s a no-brainer. Everybody needs to manage money and use financial products wisely and I wholeheartedly support this call to the next government—whatever colour it may be—to ensure that giving every child the opportunity to learn about finance is of the utmost priority after the election."
In a recent poll of over 8 000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents. I am in favor of the majority. And what do you think—is it up to parents to encourage good habits or should financial education be entrusted to schools?
According to Martin Lewis, we can infer that______.
选项
A、financial education should be carried out in every country
B、it is essential to teach students money management
C、children should save their pocket money to pay for their tuition fees
D、it is effective for consumer campaigners to launch an online petition
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,Martin Lewis已经和育儿教育网站联手发出一封网上请愿书,希望让金融教育成为英国学校课程里的必修内容,由此可推断,Martin Lewis认为学生们必须学习金融知识,故正确答案为B)。
