Financial capability is one domain in which the inadequacies of humans are particularly stark. Changes in the financial landscape over the past 20 years have taxed our cognitive capabilities to new levels. Over the past few years, efforts at Winchester have focused on improving financial literacy and helping citizens make better financial decisions.
Critical to success in these initiatives is a curriculum that allows pupils to make financial decisions and get feedback in a safe space. This can be done through a combination of traditional classroom activities, technology enabled games and some limited real world practice.
