None of the above when I was in school. RRSPs and Pensions to high schoolers is silly. Credit cards and student loans seems like topics worth pursuing. They might have glazed over credit cards by saying not to spend too much on it, but without a proper detailed explanations and examples, kids aren't going to learn much.
If I reacall financial literacy was mainly it was budgeting and telling kids to put aside some of their allowance to spend later. Owing to the stage in life, the ability to put out a good program wasn't great. It's a better course in uni, but no one wants to waste time and money on a course like this.
