Q. Why is Financial Literacy necessary?
Ans: As our society and economy evolves, we have to deal with more complex financial products and services. Adding to this complexity are technological developments which has brought massive changes in financial transactions and consumer behaviour.

Q. Why Financial Literacy in schools?
Ans: Financial literacy is as much about knowledge and skills as it is about behaviour and attitude. What better place to change the mindset about money of our future citizens than at schools? If our children do not have the basic financial skills, the poor financial decisions they will make later in life will have a lasting impact on their financial future.
