In a Forsa survey for the Federal Association of Consumer Organizations, 88 percent were in favor of children and young people learning about “nutrition and health” in school. 85 percent are in favor of “handling money and insurance” being addressed. “Environmental protection and fair trade” (82 percent) and “use of cell phones and the Internet” (74) came in behind in the survey.

According to the information, only these four topic areas were specifically asked. Only two percent of those surveyed said they were negative or did not give an answer.

That’s not surprising, said consumer advice center board member Ramona Pop. “In the current price crisis, financial education is particularly important.” The ministries of education and consumer protection are now asked to promote consumer education in schools.

For the representative survey, Forsa surveyed German-speaking people aged 18 and over living in private households between August 31st and September 6th of this year 2002. The results were available exclusively to the German Press Agency.
