Saving 'a priority' for students

Many students are looking to begin saving for their futures, according to the National Skills Academy for Financial Services (NSAFS).

After carrying out a poll of students in higher education institutions across the country, the organisation found that starting saving was the one financial area that young people are most concerned about.

When asked about what form of finance they wanted to learn about, 28 per cent stated savings, while 22 per cent picked university tuition fees.

Sylvia Perrins, chairperson for NSAFS, said that it was encouraging to see young people thinking ahead and claimed that they were more aware of financial issues than they are given credit for.

"The challenge lies in how young people will plan and create a pool of funds to help them finance their immediate and long-term futures, and assist their continuing education at university," she added.

Many school-leavers may be looking into their finances as they are considering a career in the field.

The NSAFS recently urged financial services employers to target those leaving school due to the amount of funding for apprentices that is available.
