Nearly three in five students want more education on budgeting at school – poll

Nearly three in five students want more education on budgeting at school – poll

13 February 2025  

Nearly three in five university students want more education on financial choices and budgeting at school, a survey has suggested.

More than two in five (44%) undergraduates wanted more teaching on career pathways in Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) classes, according to the poll for the Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) think tank.

The survey, of 1,105 full-time undergraduate students domiciled in England, found that the majority (83%) said their time in school or college prepared them well for their studies in higher education.

But only 38% said the curriculum in school or college left them "ready for life and ready for work".

In July, the Government launched its curriculum and assessment review, which is being led by education expert Professor Becky Francis.

The consultation on the review in England closed in November and an interim report is due to be published early this year.

Students were asked in the poll about which aspects of the PSHE curriculum they found helpful, and which topics they wanted to know more about.

Overall, 59% said they wanted to know more about financial choices and budgeting in these classes.

The Hepi report said: "This may be more pressing because of the financial challenges students increasingly face while studying in higher education.

"Some 56% of students now work part-time during term. Of those who do not work, a third say it is because they cannot find a job.

Meanwhile, around a third (34%) think studying four or five A levels or Btecs would give pupils "greater fulfilment and satisfaction".
