Starting from 2028, financial literacy lessons will be compulsorily implemented in all schools across the country, at both primary and secondary education levels.
AzEdu.az reports, citing foreign media, that this decision aims to effectively prepare students not only with academic knowledge but also with financial issues they will encounter in real life.
Within the framework of the new program, students will acquire practical knowledge about money management, budgeting, proper use of debts and credits, as well as principles of entrepreneurship and investment. Furthermore, special attention will also be paid in lessons to topics such as recognizing fraud, digital payment systems, online security, and ways to protect against financial scams.
Among other relevant topics to be included in the financial literacy program, issues of climate change, sustainable consumption, and environmental responsibility will also be featured. This will help students make more responsible decisions not only regarding their individual financial behavior but also from a social and environmental perspective.
The official statement from the Department of Education emphasizes that the goal is not merely to provide theoretical knowledge, but also to equip young people with real-life decision-making skills. Thus, in the future, students will grow into informed, responsible citizens with high analytical capabilities, not only in financial matters but also in social and environmental issues.
Experts believe that this step will be a significant turning point for the future of education in English schools and will make a significant contribution to the development of students' life skills.
