　　Laws that would have ensured pupils from 5 to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the ‘wash up’．An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.

　　At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world.
