Das Curriculum der Risikokompetenz, das ich mir wünsche, umfasst drei Themen und drei Kategorien von Fertigkeiten. Die drei Themen sind:

• Gesundheitskompetenz/li>
• Finanzkompetenz
• Digitale Risikokompetenz

Drei Fertigkeiten sind zur Beherrschung jedes Themas erforderlich:

• Statistisches Denken
• Faustregeln
• Die Psychologie des Risikos

Society would gain significant advantages if children were taught the fundamental ideas ofprobability theory and statistics: in simple form in primary school, and in greater depth insecondary school. Reasoning of a probabilistic or statistical kind is a potent tool of evaluationand analysis. Not to have it at our disposal leaves us defenceless. To be unclear about notions such as mean, variance, fluctuations and correlations is like not knowing how to domultiplication or division.
