I suspect accounting is a topic common in commonwealth countries curriculum (heh no pun intended) - Australia included it as well.

- jimnotgym 6y agoBut the UK doesn't! That probably tells you something about the UKs relationship with the commonwealth.
- OJFord 6y agoIt's not compulsory, but it's available at GCSE and A Level; also in General Knowledge A Level I think. Granted they have a bit of a reputation for being 'lesser' subjects. I don't really agree that everyone needs to be taught this though, most Britons don't have to 'do taxes', and aren't running companies. It should probably form a part of trades' apprenticeship training (and for all I know it does) due to the higher prevalence of self-employment (and thus running a business, and self-assessing tax even if not incorporated).

- captn3m0 6y agoIndia here (also commonwealth). Accounting wasn’t in high school curriculum but tax calculation was.
- cm2187 6y agoNo accounting in the French general high school curriculum. And I can’t see it being introduced (it would be seen as an unacceptable intrusion of capitalism in education).
