Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli say many parts of his financial literacy bill have been adopted by the province.

He says beginning next year a new careers studies course with a financial literacy component will be taught to Grade 10 students province wide.

Fedeli was calling for a stand alone course on financial literacy but he says this an important step forward.

He says its vitally important that household budgeting and understanding credit are keys for students as they enter the adult world.
