Important lessons for students
"Teaching students about compound interest is like handing them a key to unlock their financial future. It shows them how time, patience, and smart decisions can turn small investments into significant rewards, empowering them to take control of their financial lives early on."
Understanding for teachers
“It’s important to realise this “eighth wonder of the world” is based on little more than primary school maths that we can all understand and apply.”
