It has never been more important for young people to leave school equipped with the right skills to deal with the vital issues of finance.
An essay competition gives 13-18 yr olds a chance to win an Ipad2 plus work experience at a National newspaper.
The Daily Mail’s – Financial Mail is putting money education at the heart of their annual student essay competition.
They are asking school pupils and sixth-form students the simple question:
‘Who should be responsible for teaching you about personal finance?’
One of the objectives of the competition is to help young people learn more about personal finance, so judges will be looking
for evidence that you have carried out your own research to support your arguments.
The deadline for entries is November 25.
The top essay in each of two age groups – 13 to 15 and 16 to 18 – will earn its writer an Apple iPad 2 16GB, worth £350.
The winner in the older age category will also have the opportunity of a work experience placement with Financial Mail.
