Many college students graduate without an understanding of personal finance and issues like credit. The University of Delaware’s Center for Economic Education and Entrepreneurship (CEEE) is working to change that, one classroom at a time.
Working in Support of Education (w!se) awarded Hamilton High School computer science and business education teacher Brenda Savic its Gold Star Teacher Award. Savic is one of only 600 teachers in the country to earn the award and has earned it for the second consecutive year.
“JA in a Day” is a product of the national Junior Achievement organization that brings grade-specific financial literacy programs to public schools, with volunteers from the business community teaching the kids. More than 250 students at North City Elementary learned from volunteer mentors about money management and business ownership.
Since financial literacy is seen as a prerequisite for comprehensive development and economic growth, students from the 7th to the 12th grades are now being introduced to financial education. Money management, saving and other basic financial skills are being taught as part of the Financial Education Programme, introduced to more than 350,000 students nationwide as part of the curricula. Monday marked the official launch of the programme, which is initiated by the Socio-Financial National Committee in cooperation with the Education Ministry and INJAZ.
Libraries are go-to places for financial education in their communities. Across the country, different branches and library systems take varied approaches to financial literacy, depending on the needs of the local population. Virginia Beach Public Library got its start in financial-literacy education through a grant. In 2014 VBPL was one of 21 libraries to get funding (in its case, $66,100) as part of the Smart Investing@Your Library initiative administered by the ALA and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Investor Education Foundation.
