The Investing and Saving Alliance’s (TISA) Financial Education Council (FEC) has unveiled a new, free Financial Education Toolkit designed to help teachers deliver financial education in primary and secondary schools.
The launch, which coincided with National Financial Awareness Day, aims to address the challenges teachers face in identifying high-quality financial education resources. A recent mapping exercise by the Money and Pension Service found that teachers were struggling to find suitable materials.
The unbranded toolkit, developed by TISA’s financial services members, acts as a signposting resource, directing teachers to a range of free, quality materials. It includes planning frameworks, videos and teacher training guides to support effective delivery of financial education.

Sophie Legrand-Green, Head of Policy and TISA lead of the FEC, said: “Receiving financial education in school empowers young people to make informed decisions about their money as they grow. By learning about key financial concepts, young people can reduce the risk of facing financial difficulties, gain confidence in managing their finances, and improve their overall financial wellbeing.”
Legrand-Green acknowledged the difficulties teachers face, adding: “With teachers facing high workloads and a huge volume of finance education resources, finding suitable material can be a challenge. This new toolkit is designed to help teachers easily find high-quality, free resources that support them in providing effective financial education for their students.”
