In our country, English, Maths, Science, national Language, and Social Studies are compulsory subjects. Students also get to choose a few subjects based on their interests like Accounts, Computer Science, etc. Just like languages, science, and maths are compulsory subjects do you believe Business and finance should also be compulsory in school? I am saying this because you need money in your life and you can make money only when you know business and finance.
Do You Think Business and Finance Should be Compulsory Subjects in Schools

I think business and finance should be compulsory subjects in school because whatever you do, you need to manage your personal or business finance wisely. Even if you make a lot of money, if you do not manage money properly, you will not achieve financial freedom.
In my country, business studies is made compulsory at basic high school and this helps to expose school children to the basic skills needed in running a business, when students are shown this at an early age , it makes them show more interest in business.
The world has evolved beyond the kind of education that just prepared people for bureaucratic work. Now, we need the kind of education that would prepare people to be innovative. Business, Finance and vocational studies should be made important in school.
With the high rate of unemployment prevalent, we can't afford to be churning out graduates that are not skilled with entrepreneurship. We need to build individuals that would not just graduate but graduate to help the economy grow by creating jobs.
That is what anyb serious and responsible government should embark on. Instead of many students to waste their tenure in universities studying inb courses that would make them liability to the nation, business studies would bail them out.
I believe that Business and finance should be included in the curriculum. That is true everyone needs money in his life and every endeavor and any practice of profession is actually a business venture. It's hard to understand the business jargon if one has no basic knowledge of financial system.
In my country, since elementary school, children have been introduced in general to business and finance in the subject of social and economic knowledge, in senior high schools there are vocational schools on economics, students can choose majors in accounting or business and finance.
Eh, that is good!. Any country that embark in such project is said to have a visionary program. The problem of unemployment we are having is asv a result of crave of every graduands to become job seekers and not job providers.

This explains why business and finance must be made compulsory. When students are made to understand vthe relevant of vthis, they would be saved the problem of unemployment in the country.

My opinion and yours are almost similar but different in some ways. You have to emphasize skills and crafts in school and then find a way to teach these kids how to manage these crafts to make money. If I own a school, I would emphasize skills and crafts at an advanced level and then crown it with Entrepreneurial Studies.
If governments failed to implement it, I won't failed in my obligation to my children to ensure they embrace the system and adopt it. It it would help them in future in theb plague of seeking for employments and be job providers instead. This is better handle at earliest ages.
