The shares for schools ideas is fantastic. Plus we should have personal finance as a core (but non-assessed) subject in schools. Most kids would love it as long as lessons were well planned, because it's something with obvious and direct influence on their lives.
I think we should do what they do in America: have big investment houses talk at schools. Peter Lynch did this for Fidelity, and I hear that other asset managers are still doing it in the states.
