He also said that he wants people to feel \u201cmore confident\u201d<\/strong> when it comes to finances and mortgage deals. If this is the case, why not supply financial education instead?<\/p>\n At this moment, Sunak\u2019s plans seem entirely unattainable given that he\u2019s failed to give any indication as to how they will be achieved.<\/p>\n Currently, it seems like more of an empty aspiration than a concrete plan…<\/p>\n Whilst financial education and mathematics have areas of overlap, the two should not be conflated\u2026 they are not the same thing.<\/p>\n If Sunak\u2019s plans go ahead, we need to make sure that this studying of maths is something that can actually be applied to the real world. Whilst a strong grasp of maths can help with aspects of financial management, such as budgeting, it does not overlap with all financial needs.<\/p>\n For example, studying maths might help you understand how percentages work. However, a financial education carries this even further as you can start using these percentages in the \u2018real world\u2019, such as with taxes. Instead of simply understanding the percentages of each tax band, you can know what to do if you are taxed wrong, what the different tax codes are, how to fill out your own self-assessment tax returns, and so much more.<\/p>\nAmbition without Substance<\/h2>\n
