A free national program that aims to equip young Australians with financial literacy skills has hit a landmark milestone.
Nearly 400,000 students have learnt essential financial habits via by not-for-profit company, Ecstra.
Students at Blacktown Boys High School in Sydney’s west spoke to 9News after completing in-class “talk money” lessons.
Ayaan said before undertaking the program his understanding about money was “pretty elementary”.
“I had a general idea of how income works and how tax works but it wasn’t very in-depth,” he said.
Student Parin said he studied economics and knew “all the fancy definitions”.
“But I didn’t really know what they meant,” he said.
