Admin have been really impressed with the whole financial literacy concept. Thank you for your help and I look forward to hearing from you soon.” > Bri Appleton, Year 7 Teacher, Kingston State School "I have been using the Minor Money Matters program in my Year 3 classroom for the last 2 years. The first thing that impressed me about the program is how easy it is to use. All of the activities, investigations and worksheets are provided, thus saving time and work. They link into our school curriculum and are so easy to implement in the classroom. Most importantly, the kids have LOVED participating in the program. The activities are hands on and have real life relevance to them. It is amazing to see how much they learn through the implementation of Minor Money Matters in our classroom. I believe that all children should be involved in a program such as Minor Money Matters and will continue to use it to educate my students."

In 2003, ASIC developed a consultation paper called Financial Literacy in Schools. In 2005, the Federal Australian Government developed the National Consumer and Financial Literacy Framework .
This framework was initiated to respond to increasing personal debt and in particular to the mounting mobile phone debt that young Australians were creating, as well as an increasing credit card debt that Australians of all ages were maintaining.
A PowerPoint presentation has been developed by Minor Money Matters which gives an overview of the players and timeline for this national strategy. If you would like a copy of this, click here. Contained within that framework is the National Financial Literacy Framework, including Learning Principles for children in school years 3, 5, 7 and 9 .
