Teaching Business in schools is tricky. The accounting requirements are broad in scope, technical in detail, and the learning specifications are daunting, if not overwhelming.
If that wasn’t enough, accounting uses common language in uncommon ways. And, as everybody knows, accounting is dull.
All of these things are true. Except accounting is not boring – it’s beautiful and exciting.
Welcome to Accounting Cafe, where you’ll find articles, courses and ideas for accounting lessons in schools. Everything is written by accounting and business subject experts.
Our resources work in many settings, although they focus on UK education. Specifically, Level 3 Business, BTEC, A Level and T Level.
We provide free courses, articles, resources, lesson plans, seminars and workshops, and a community for discussion and debate.
