The Ontario government is announcing a financial literacy graduation requirement as part of the first major overhaul of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma since 1999. Students will need to learn about, and demonstrate knowledge of practical financial literacy skills such as budgeting, saving, investing, interest rates and financial fraud awareness. Students will also benefit from a modern “Home Economics” education, new investments in career coaches and updated guidance counselor qualification courses to better connect students to in-demand jobs as well as get practical tools and resources. This is part of the government’s back-to-basics plan to set students up with the skills and knowledge to succeed in real life and in their future careers.
