IT IS PAST TIME for financial matters to be taught to children from as early as primary school, says chief executive officer of Caribbean Credit Bureau Ltd Canada, Grady Clarke.
Speaking to the media on Thursday during a break in a seminar on Effective Credit Management And Debt Recovery at the Savannah Hotel, Hastings, Christ Church, Clarke said sound financial management taught at an early age would redound to the benefit of the society.
“I believe if you start the educational process in sound financial habits and literacy at an early age, then as you grow up it will be a part of your character.
“Since we all have to deal with money in our lives, regardless of our occupation, let’s teach money and financial planning and advice in school and then on an individual basis society will make more intelligent financial decisions and collectively it will have a real positive impact on our economy,” he said.
