The development of financial literacy in the academic sector is not a one-size-fits all solution but rather a combination of measures that starts from very early stages up to the highest levels of learning and uses various ways to capture students’ attention. The following are some strategies to help you realize this:

 Curriculum Integration

 Introduce financial literacy topics into primary, secondary and higher education curricula. This may include teachings around budgeting, saving, investing, credit management and understanding financial products.

Cross-disciplinary Approach

Integrate financial literacy in subjects such as mathematics, social studies and economics to enable students to see the real world application and relevance of the subject.

Teacher Training and Resources
