Governor Gavin Newsom announced on Thursday an agreement that requires all California high school students to take a semester-long personal finance education course starting by the 2027-28 school year.
It's not funding, plenty of money gets spent on education. It doesn't matter to kids that don't have reinforcement that education matters. Financial literacy specifically isn't going to help, because it's too abstract to students that aren't working jobs, paying rent, and buying their own food.
