Educating NZ is working with the Retirement Commission on a pilot project to trial a Personal Financial Education Framework that

The overall project aim is to:
- provide recommendations on how the framework can be improved
- provide recommendations on the materials, strategies and approaches needed for schools to implement the framework effectively within their teaching and learning programmes.
