Dennis the Menace is swapping his catapult for a calculator and will be helping to teach UK’s children about spending, debt and how demand and supply affects prices. Dennis and chums have teamed up with the Bank of England for 12 lessons on financial literacy. ‘Money and Me’ will be launched in July and is aimed at children aged 5 to 11 years old. Bank Governor, Andrew Bailey, is hoping that Dennis will instil confidence about using money. The Bank has already launched a money resource for secondary school ‘EconoMe’, which has been downloaded by almost 2,000 schools.
