為了讓英國國民更善於理財，避免"製造"一堆月光族，英國政府最近也研擬於2014年將稅務、財務管理引進到中學教育，不過該國目前也在研擬適當作法，日後也會派員實地考察執行方式是否得當。

我忽然覺得這主意滿不錯的。我國教育太偏重理論，但是國民有納稅之義務與責任其實不該等到他們長大後才開始學習。理財不是只有存錢，依法納稅才能真正幫助自己避免日後嚴懲。

Finance lessons in schools from 2014

School children will start learning about tax, debt and money management in schools from September 2014.

Compulsory education about personal finance issues has been included in the draft national curriculum for England for the first time.

Topics including wages and financial risk will be taught in citizenship classes for 11 to 16-year-olds.

They will also learn about interest rates and other financial issues in maths lessons.

The change comes after an campaign by money experts and MPs. They argued that children were leaving school ill-equipped to deal with financial problems and debt.

It will be up to schools to decide how long they will spend teaching children about money, but the quality of the instruction will be checked by Ofsted inspectors.

"Financial education is essential in equipping young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to be able to manage their money well," said Tracey Bleakley, chief executive of the Personal Finance Education Group.
