Part of the problem was that young people at this age really do not find business related information as being relevant so didn’t/don’t take it very seriously. Most teachers did not, still do not, have much business training themselves so teaching business related courses had little appeal. Also, taking a full matriculation program leaves students little time to include business subjects in their program. The by-product is that most matriculation students leave high school with little or no interest in pursuing a commerce degree but rather are focused on either arts or sciences. Calm 20 is a pretty watered down replacement version with very little focus on personal finance or business. No easy solutions but the fallout is becoming increasingly apparent. Let’s see if Trudeau is going to turn us into a fully operational 3rd world country with a guaranteed annual income and all of his other grandiose spending plans financed by money from the money tree.
