>In a recent News of The World interview, Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne was asked:
LABOUR wants financial education to be compulsory in schools from 2011. Do you?
VERY much so. Not enough people realise how important it is to save, to understand the details of credit card statements, to be able to compare different APRs and the like. You also have to improve numeracy skills, and have a population that’s comfortable with numbers.
