With our new class topic: MAKING IT COUNT (BUDGETING), I would like to aim to teach your some life skills. Something that you can take on your journey, a useful tool
ANSWER this question:
How do you see building financial capability in our year 13 classroom: What would you like me to concentrate on? What would be useful for your to have as a tool in your kete at the end of the year?
For me as an adult, I wish I was taught this when I was at school. This is a way to get the tools to make students financially capable, and to be able to survive, financially. To make students capable of looking after the well being of their finances. I am hoping that at least now the question of: Whaea why do we need to learn about this? ...will at last be answered. And as ONE of the students in year 12 expressed: WOW AT LAST I WILL LEARN SOMETHING AT SCHOOL THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO USE. This is me making sure that you have something useful in your kete, to take with you next year, on your journey wherever it would lead you.
ReplyDeleteI see it helping me with my finances next year. As it will be my first time on my own without the financial help of my parents and family. I believe BFC will help me control my money and achieve financial goals I set. I would like it if you concentrated on how to pay bills and other stuff that has to do with living and how to budget for it. Budgeting would be useful to me and also some food as incentive ;) .

ReplyDeleteBuilding financial capability is a range of products & services, designed to help people in need of building more of a stable financial route.
I would like you to concentrate on more realistic things such as rent, mortgage, etc. A more useful tool to learn would be more information for saving for a house.
I find this assessment to be very useful especially for future reference. I will find this applicable to my life when school is finished.

Thanks for all of your thoughtful answers. I will try my best to bring paying bills in to our topic of budgeting. Keep my updated on your progress so I know if this was course was useful to you.
DeleteFinancial Capability is taking control over your money in order to accomplish financial goals. It gives us knowledge so that we can effectively manage our money, it supports us by showing us how to efficiently deal with finances.
ReplyDeleteHow do you see building financial capability in our year 13 classroom: It is great because I will have a fair idea of how to maintain my finances for when I leave to Uni next year.
I would like to learn more about things that are about interest, mortgages, rent, insurance, deposits, what you do when you buy a house, debt etc. Things we never learn in school. I like the budgeting a lot though.

All of this knowledge, perhaps we could print it so we can bring it along with us on our journey.
Wonderful thoughts, thanks for sharing them with me. With today's technology we really don't need to print anymore. You can make a copy: file, make a copy and then share it with your personal email, in stead of your school email. I would try and cover most of your topics, in our short time left...wish I started with this sooner!! That is why we learn from our mistakes!!
DeleteI can see that financial capability is going to be useful for me going into university next year. I think that Financial capability will help me save and spend my money more better. I would like you to concentrate on learning how to pay bills.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your useful comment Jean, I will strive to bring this in as well, although our focus is budgeting. I wish I've started the MFC with you earlier...but rather late than never!! Keep my updated on your own progress.
