A recent survey by Intuit found that U.S. high school students are interested in learning about personal finance in schools, but many do not have access to such courses. The survey also revealed that parents may be reluctant to teach their children about financial literacy. Despite this, students still try to discuss financial topics with their parents.

A recent survey by Intuit found that U.S. high school students want to learn about personal finance in schools but that many lack access to such courses at school, while parents may be reluctant to teach their children about financial literacy. Intuit's Financial Education survey found that 85% of U.S. high school students said they're interested in learning about financial topics at school and that 95% of those who currently receive a financial curriculum find it helpful.

The top three things high school students wanted to know about managing their finances were how to become wealthy , how to save money and how to avoid debt . "A really high percentage of students were interested in those particular topics, but they also just simply want to understand the basic terms – they want to be able to speak the language," Zasada noted.
