In a momentous announcement, we are pleased to reveal a significant initiative dedicated to empowering the youth of our nation. Starting from the upcoming academic year, a comprehensive financial literacy curriculum will be integrated into primary and middle schools. This meticulously designed curriculum, developed in collaboration with the State Bank, has garnered the endorsement of the National Curriculum Council.
The introduction of this curriculum signifies a pivotal step towards fostering financial inclusion in our country, particularly considering that only 13 percent of our population currently holds bank accounts. The belief is that providing students with essential financial knowledge from an early age will not only enhance their personal financial management skills but also contribute to a more economically resilient and inclusive society.
This curriculum will cover fundamental aspects of financial literacy, equipping students with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of personal finance. The involvement of the State Bank ensures that the content is not only relevant but also aligned with the latest financial practices and policies.
Confidence abounds that this initiative will play a crucial role in shaping a generation that is well-informed and capable of making sound financial decisions. By fostering financial literacy, the groundwork is being laid for a more financially inclusive future, where individuals are empowered to actively participate in the economic growth of our nation.
Expressions of gratitude are extended to the State Bank and the National Curriculum Council for their collaborative efforts in bringing this initiative to fruition. Together, we are building a brighter future for our youth and a more financially inclusive nation.
