education: Order this photo By Andrea Gordon Education Reporter Tues., Nov. 1, 2016 Prakash Amarasooriya is on a mission to get more financial literacy into Ontario high schools, according to The Toronto Star. So far, he seems to have a savvy investor touch when it comes to good timing. He now works at a bank and says he meets kids all the time who come in and don't know the first thing about saving, credit cards or budgeting. The 23-year-old is behind a petition launched by the Toronto Youth Cabinet three weeks ago that calls on the Ontario Ministry of Education to revamp its Grade 10 career studies course to incorporate the basics of budgeting. Turns out his pitch is timely. These skills are vital and should be a priority, says Amarasooriya, who works part-time in a bank and knows first-hand how alarming it is to face financial instability without any money skills to rely on.
