I read today that there is a plan for a double GCSE maths qualification that includes a course on everyday finance and applying maths in finance. It's scheduled for 2010 - and admittedly it's for top tier students, which is a shame.
But it is an excellent idea, I think it's both useful and will make maths more accessible and meaningful. Also it will help the balance of the finance companies (who know lots) and the consumer (who learns through experience).
