Wealth Professional – James Burton
“A frequent lament among advisors and financial planners is the lack of emphasis on financial literacy in schools in Canada. Rabbior understands their frustration, having worked at tackling the problem for a long time. He believes that progress is being made, with Ontario now including a literacy component as part of their new compulsory grade 10 career studies course, while Manitoba is working to develop a new high school course. He added that Saskatchewan has just developed two new high school courses, Quebec made one compulsory two years ago, and both Newfoundland and Nova Scotia are currently looking into programs.” (more)
