    Why do they need teaching basic money skills ?  It is always someone else's fault if they get scammed / into debt and the banks / lenders will bail them out courtesy of the regulators.  Financial education is of no use if there are no repercussions from failure.

    Great idea.
    Making it harder for youngsters to get into debt should be part of it.
