Whose job is it to educate?

The Dominion Post today had a story on the front page about a pilot project launched by the The Retirement Commission to teach kids at school some money sense.
All credit to the Retirement Commission (and the banks contributing the funding).
We know The Retirement Commission in particular has been working on this for a long time. Their future thinking was so developed, they identified that the best way to help their core constituency (retired people) to manage their funds better was to get to them when they’re still in schools!
There are many examples of organisations outside of the education sector getting involved in the design and delivery of learning. The Wellington Chamber of Commerce for example; we hear on the grapevine they’re about to recruit an ‘education broker’ so that they can offer the skills and know-how of their professional membership to schools and principals.
If you have any other examples like this, let us know.
