A widely shared social media post criticises schools for teaching photosynthesis, Pythagoras, the water cycle and frog dissection over 12 years, while never explaining what happens when a bank approves a loan or what signing a loan agreement really means. The post urges readers to read loan documents themselves, pointing to practical terms like monthly repayment figures, and taps into a broader debate about the absence of financial literacy in standard education.
Why now: Frustration over gaps in financial education is resurfacing as people struggle with loans and money decisions.
