Free online learning portal for teachers and students launched

Charity RedSTART has launched a free learning portal for primary and secondary schoolchildren and teachers.

The charity was set up to improve financial education for children and the new hub will provide ready-made lesson plans and training resources for both primary and secondary school age groups.

The materials, which are free to access, combine interactive games with more traditional knowledge sessions, giving a balance between fun and practical learning.

This initiative is part of the charity’s commitment to improving financial literacy and to teach children how to budget, save, invest, and give back.

Its core principle is creating accessible financial education materials and collaborating with partners worldwide to give one million young people confidence in handling their money.

RedSTART Co-founder, Jonathan Letham said: “We’ve had amazing feedback on our interactive learning days but now we want to do more. We know that we can reach more children by giving teachers the skills to deliver education straight to the classroom and our new online portal is a great way to achieve that. We’re passionate about partnering with more schools across the UK to help students engage with financial education, but also to make sure that they have fun while they’re doing it.”
