Financial Literacy Programs
Financial Literacy for children & youth
"The education and training of children is among the most meritorious acts of humankind and draweth down the grace and favour of the All-Merciful, for education is the indispensable foundation of all human excellence and alloweth man to work his way to the heights of abiding glory."
There is no greater task than raising educated children. For years we have relied on the school systems to prepare our children for the world. However it is evident that the current curriculum is not sufficient.
Current academic curriculums taught at schools (elementary through graduate school) are providing the necessary knowledge to students so they can become proficient in their area of interest. However an area of necessity - personal finances - has been ignored for a long time. Similar to any form of education, financial literacy must start from early ages.
Record number of highly educated professionals - doctors, engineers, accountants and lawyers - are declaring personal bankruptcy every year. This is a clear evidence that our children are not receiving the necessary financial education they need.
