All Canadians Need Financial Basics - Why Aren’t We Teaching Them?

Today, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Mehtab Sangha, a first-year student at the Rotman School of Commerce, to talk about one of the biggest failures in Canadian education. Students graduate high school without knowing how to budget, save, or manage basic household finances. Mehtab explains what he did and did not learn before university, how much students rely on parents for financial literacy, and why schools should be teaching real-world money skills instead of leaving young Canadians unprepared.They also discuss life as a first-year commerce student, the realities of exams, and why pressure can motivate some students while overwhelming others. A candid look at the gap between what schools teach and what life actually demands. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
