Graduates face loans with no financial education

Original: You passed every exam. You graduated. You sat across from a loan officer with 17 years of education and zero vocabulary

A widely shared commentary criticises schools for preparing students for exams but not for real financial decisions. The post describes a graduate sitting across from a loan officer with years of education yet no understanding of the loan documents in front of them. It argues the education system leaves young people unequipped for practical money matters like borrowing and debt.

Why now: The gap between academic education and practical financial literacy is a persistent frustration for young adults facing loans and debt.
