e-petition for Financial Education

This has been brought forward by Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert fame. I like Martin, he talks sense. It echoes the issues that Carol Vorderman highlighted earlier this month when she quoted ratios, percentages and fractions in addition to financial education.

And every single one of these skills are part of Functional Skills, especially finance which is covered at all levels.

So go for it Martin, but let's make it Functional Skills rather than just Finance. I have already signed, just as 40,000 other people have.
