The National Financial Literacy Expansion Programme’s pilot period will begin on January 29 thanks to the selection of facilitators by the Ministry of Energy and Business.
The 15 mediators just underwent an arrangement treatment, and according to David Simpson, the National Coordinator of the Ministry’s economic education program, they are prepared and eager to start teaching in a variety of primary and secondary schools.
“Once we see the results of this captain, we will spin it out in more institutions. It will target Second Form pupils in seven secondary colleges and Class Two children in six major schools.”
We also have a group component that is being finished right now. It is a ongoing process and not just one day because the enablers will also be working with those families in the neighborhood. Regardless of the communities we are targeting in the aircraft, “We are considering bringing some pop-up events to each group so we can maintain that interaction with the public,” said Simpson.
Every member and citizen is the target of the program, according to the financial literacy consultant, and its overall goal is to enhance their financial management skills and produce wealth for their families both now and in the future.
The goal is to enhance Citizens ‘connection with money, which includes earning, using, saving, and investing it. While many of the activities we engage in on a daily basis use or make money, our connection with it is not as strong as it should be, as we have learned from our studies and relationships over the past three to five years.
“We cannot ignore adults, but we need to get into the colleges and began it in order to mark what we want to do and see the benefits in the future.” These are focused classes on financial literacy because we want them to live this way. The goal is to be able to connect the institutions ‘program to the neighborhood, and we will send letters to kids outlining the program and urging them to participate, he said.
Simpson emphasized that primary and secondary school individuals may use engaging worksheets that outline the topics to be covered. Money Mindset, Earning Income, Spending (buying on budget), Saving, Borrowing and Lending, Managing Risks, and Cultivating Contentment are some of the topics to be covered during the sessions.
The textbooks ‘academic artist, Lynda Woolford-Richards, stated that they were appropriate for their age group. The concepts may be undergraduate, according to her, while the secondary school students would have those fundamental ideas and then build a little more on them. The primary school children would engage in different learning activities.
The secondary school students are more motivated to manage their finances independently while working with their families, whereas the younger children can learn by modeling how they do it.
According to Woolford-Richards, “The level of essential thinking and imagination is going to be different for various ages because their messages are more useful because they may have more access to money and they have the ability to manage their finances.”
She urged parents whose kids are working on the pilot project to participate in the process and work through the workbook issues.
The leaders involved in the pilot phase are all enthusiastic about the program, which Corey Worrell, the representative for the schools ‘part, described as versatile. Mr. Worrell continued by saying he was eager for its rollout.
