MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis and Schools Minister Damian Hinds will be questioned by the Education Committee as it concludes its inquiry on expanding financial education in schools.
Mr Lewis will appear alongside Russell Winnard of Young Enterprise, a charity which developed a financial education textbook with Mr Lewis.
They will be questioned on the training and resources available to schools for providing financial education; the impact that covid-19 and cost-of-living pressures have had on young people’s perceptions of money; and whether external organisations should have a role in delivering financial education in schools.
The cross-party Committee will be interested in Mr Lewis and Mr Winnard’s views on how best to engage youngsters in the subject, including children at primary school level.
