ENDING FINANCIAL ILLITERACY

JUNE 24, 2020

OVERVIEW
Students who attend the public schools of America are expected to excel in many subjects: like STEM
classes, language arts, and even physical education. However, once they reach the real word and are out
of their high school safety net, they realize they are unequipped for financial literacy. Credit card
companies and loan officers will get in contact with newly graduated students as soon as one starts
building credit. Without the proper education, more and more people are getting into debt fast. Having a
constant financial literacy class for students from 9-12 grade will give them the proper tools to make
educated decisions with their money.

Project Scope
 Require financial literacy as a class for all graduating students where there will learn about the following:
- Credit cards, debit cards, interest, stocks, depreciation rates,
 Ensure that while credit card companies are in areas of youth, also ensure that people offering financial advice
are there
 Have pamphlets available in college advisory rooms and libraries.

Benefits

1
 Financial literacy is knowledge that anyone can benefit from, regardless of age. It is especially important for students
to receive this education before going into adulthood. The benefits would be that people will have more awareness of
money and the way it works and will be able to make adult choices when it comes to how they spend and save their
money.

CONCLUSION
By creating spaces for students to discuss money, students in turn will benefit from being out in the real world. The
information collected in a pamphlet will add as a carry-on for students to look back on if they ever need quick
reminders of how money works.
