Help Students Learn Financial Literacy
Understanding how money works, from how to maintain a budget to the basics of investment, is crucial to both surviving and thriving in the modern world. Personal finance courses are now required in more than half the United States, although many students don’t get an adequate amount of financial education in school. The results are alarmingly evident when you look at the statistics: a survey from the National Financial Educators Council shows that 50% of individuals lost at least $500 in 2024 due to a lack of financial literacy—including 15% who said it set them back by $2,500 or more. A lack of financial literacy can lead to bad credit, excessive debt, and even bankruptcy or foreclosure, but a solid understanding of finances can help students avoid all of that and instead build a comfortable and successful future for themselves. Don’t let your students become statistics. Give them a solid head start on finance with Infobase’s streaming video platforms, eBooks, and award-winning databases.
