Yet another must-listen to episode with real-world #finfluencers, delivering practical and tangible solutions to the wider world.

As the Co-Founder & CEO of GoHenry, a celebrated financial technology company with a straightforward mission to empower EVERY child with financial intelligence, Louise  brings a wealth of insights.

The dialogue was enlightening, showcasing Louise's unwavering determination to achieve results. Notably, she spearheaded the #MakeMoneyCount petition advocating for mandatory financial education at the primary school level. On the 30th of January, she received an invitation from the Education Select Committee & chair Robin Walker, who had initiated an inquiry into fortifying financial education in schools. Louise Hill provided compelling evidence during the session at the House of Commons.

Her recommendations as follows:
◽️ Financial education must commence from primary school age, proven to have the most significant impact.
◽️ Consistent teaching methods should be implemented for all young individuals, irrespective of the school type or their geographic and social backgrounds.
◽️ Financial education should be statutory, accompanied by some form of assessment to ensure a level playing field for all children.
