Recently, the Ministry of
Education announced that it will be introducing financial literacy
into the
Ontario
curriculum for Grades 4 through 12
beginning in September 2011. This means that there will be
curriculum committees established and working on curriculum
documents between now and the summer of 2011 as they try to come up
with a formal integrated package that deals with financial literacy
in time for implementation in the fall of 2011.
We have a number of very knowledgeable
professionals in the Greater Sudbury Area who are available to
provide valuable advice and guidance to students and parents with
respect to financial concepts and information that will be pertinent
to post-secondary education. In order to help students avoid a large
financial debt when they graduate with their diploma or degree, we
will be attempting to give them some strategies to follow that may
help them when making some very important decisions in the years to
come.

The GREATER SUDBURY EDUCATION CENTRE is
a place where everyone should feel free to participate. This is not
intended to be a place where you get only one viewpoint on important
issues in education. Through the collaborative efforts of hundreds
of readers we will together create a truly remarkable
"magazine" where the focus is on education, today and
tomorrow. I want this to be a resource that is used by students,
parents, teachers, administrators and indeed anyone with an interest
in education, training and career development. The internet has
opened up an exciting world in which everyone has the right and the
opportunity to shape the opinions and thoughts of everyone else.
Please send your comments or opinions on the above topic. I look
forward to sharing your thoughts with all of our readers.
