A survey was conducted for the purpose of developing more practical consumer and financial education for student life management, and to assess the methodologies and awareness of Japanese high school home economics teachers. The survey indicated that teachers teach according to the guidelines, that they realize it is important to cultivate consumer literacy, and that they have to teach students what is most useful in their daily lives. Also, the survey indicated that teachers realize how difficult it is to teach the subjects in class. In the future, support will be needed to provide teachers with more opportunities for training regarding what is relevant to students and providing students with more useful teaching materials.
