More than 30 primary, secondary, and high school teachers have met at the headquarters of the Spanish Banking Association (AEB) to design a financial education program for implementation in their classrooms starting next school year.
These teachers from around twenty schools across all educational stages, who teach students between 7 and 18 years old, have worked in teams of two members with the challenge of designing and developing a specific financial education plan to implement in their classrooms with the aim of making it permanent.
“Financial education is an essential tool today, and the sooner it is learned, the better. Teachers are a key element in instilling values such as saving and planning from school, thus making today’s young people responsible consumers of the future,” said AEB President José María Roldán, minutes before the innovation camp for teachers began.
This initiative, held at AEB headquarters, is part of the fourth edition of the financial education program ‘Your Finances, Your Future,’ which the Spanish Banking Association, Junior Achievement Foundation, and AEB Foundation are developing within the framework of European Money Week organized by the European Banking Federation (EBF).
