It’s back to school in Australia and New Zealand – but with one key difference: Kiwi kids will now learn about money.
What started with first New Zealand’s Labour and then National party leaders promising to introduce money lessons at school during the country’s 2023 election has now progressed to a draft curriculum that’s ready to roll.
