‘Little value’: Queensland gives school banking programs the heave-ho. – School banking programs will end in Queensland after a review found no evidence they improved saving habits in young children, who it described as ‘vulnerable consumers’. Banking in schools will cease at the end of July to coincide with the end of the Commonwealth Bank’s current contract, Education Minister Grace Grace said on Monday. “The ASIC report demonstrated that there was really little value in the program, and that often the true intention of the program wasn’t disclosed, and that there wasn’t really a terrible amount of financial education that was taking place,” she said. Ms Grace said “times had changed” since the Dollarmites program was introduced about 50 years ago, and the curriculum now included up-to- date financial education. “Our schools are now giving them skills to help manage their money responsibly while being cybersafe and avoiding the potential pitfalls modern technology can bring,” she said.
