School education resources
Our vision is that every child will understand and value our tax and superannuation systems by the time they start working or leave school.
You can help teach our children the basics of tax and super in only a few hours a year using our free educational resources.
We have worked with teachers to develop these resources to help you teach tax and super in both primary and secondary schools. The content is mapped to the school curriculum and is interactive with lesson plans for both online and paper-based activities.

Research to support teaching tax and super in schools
We have commissioned research that shows that young people have been leaving school without enough education in tax and super.
There is almost universal support for the inclusion of education about tax and super in the school curriculum from parents and the wider community. Most people surveyed believed that knowledge about tax and super is a critical life skill for young people.
It is widely agreed that education about tax and super should be the responsibility of both parents and schools. Ninety-five per cent of parents and the wider community think that learning about tax and super should be included in the curriculum (Kantar Public 2018).
