Very few schoolchildren learn about the value of money and how to look after it, yet this is a critical life skill that should be taught as part of the school curriculum. Do you agree or disagree?

Money

management knowledge is essential in life. Its believed that few kids learn the value of

money

while in

school

. I believe that

this

is an accurate argument and will demonstrate

this

in

this

essay. There are two fundamental reasons why I agree that dealing with

money

is not taught in

school

.

First

of all, traditionally the teaching in

school

has been about history, science, and math. Managing

money

has not been talked about a lot.

For instance

, in my case, I remember only learning how to handle finances when I reached university level.

Consequently

, I found it very difficult to cope with campus life due to my ignorance regarding

money

. It would have been best for my parents, to teach me about it before sending me to university. In short,

money

management skills are essential tools to have as we grow up.

Secondly

, the education system in Africa was designed immediately after colonialism

hence

the reason why

money

skills were not included.

As a result

of being colonized by European nations, the majority of African nations were not given the opportunity to participate in their

school

curriculums.

In other words

, the learning platform in place does not match the desire and needs of African societies. Overall, handling

money

and the importance of cash has not been included in our

school

due to our past experiences as dominated nations. In a conclusion, I agree completely that monetary significance has not been advocated for in our learning spaces and as a

consequence

Add a comma

,consequence

show examples

our young ones have not been given

this

opportunity later in life.

This

has been illustrated by our traditional and historical past, most especially as Africans.
