How to assess Financial Sustainability in
Social sciences
This resource encourages students to identify values and perspectives, consider responses and decisions, and explore what financial sustainability means within their own communities. Students explore investments/whakangao, insurance/inihua, KiwiSaver and retirement/whakatā. Related resources are available for maths and health and PE. This resource is designed for flexibility and choice.
There are a range of resources to choose from, so schools and teachers can design programmes that allow:

- Teachers to design a programme that suits department, faculty or whole-school planning over a few weeks or a term. This will vary from school to school.
