YES WE CAN – Eliminate the Debts Challenge Through Education

The big question is, can we eliminate the debts challenge faced by families all over the world through education?



YES WE CAN!

When I wrote this post, it was National Teacher Day in America. A day for thanking teachers for the continuing hard work that they give in order to ensure that their students reach the levels of attainment that they can aspire to.

Teaching children about money should start from when a young child first earns pocket money and should be taught right from the beginning exactly what the value of this money is.

When a child reaches school age and starts to learn maths, they should also be learning about the importance of money. Throughout their years of education, they should be taught how to budget, how to use credit cards, the type of mortgages they can apply for and all areas of the value of money.

However, at this moment, teachers world wide are suffering from the lack of support they are getting from the appropriate authorities. It is normal for teachers to have to work long hours, from planning lessons before the actual class, to correcting homework after the class, which is often done in the evenings or weekends.

The fact that they are working such long hours already can, not only affects their health but, the result of this can easily be affecting our future generations due of their lack of education in financial studies.

When someone in the political arena has the gumption to stand up and be counted as the person who changed the way that the education system looked at monetary issues as being a necessary part of the curriculum, then, and only then, will we be nearer the time that families will not have to suffer with the debts challenges of today.

If only there were more people like Mattye Whyte Woodridge ...

"According to the National Education Association, Arkansas teacher Mattye Whyte Woodridge began corresponding with political and education leaders about the need for a national day to honor teachers in 1944. Woodbridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1953 persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day."

If someone took a stance now, within a few years the younger generation would be more capable of taking full responsibility of their finances. We owe them that opportunity.

Going back to the original question of can we eliminate the debts challenge faced by families all over the world through education?

YES WE CAN!
