Should Kids be Taught Gambling in Schools?

The video discusses the growing concern of online gambling among parents and the proposal to teach gambling mechanics in schools to educate children about risk and probability. Gamcare, a charity, suggests that children as young as 12 should learn about gambling to understand its risks. However, there are concerns that such education might make gambling more attractive to children. Facebook's plan to test online gambling on its UK site is also highlighted. The video concludes with a discussion on the importance of distinguishing gambling as a financial risk rather than just fun.

What is the potential risk of children learning about gambling as a form of fun?

What is the stance of the Department for Education regarding the report from Gamcare?
