I. Introduction
The lack of financial literacy among high school students in the business strand is a
pressing issue today. Many young adults lack the necessary knowledge and skills to make
informed financial decisions, which can have a significant impact on their financial well-
being. The purpose of this project is to develop and implement a financial literacy program
for high school students in the business strand. The program will provide students with the
necessary skills and knowledge to make informed financial decisions and manage their
finances effectively.
II. Background and Purpose or Need or Rationale
Studies have shown that financial literacy is an important life skill that can have a
significant impact on an individual’s financial well-being. However, many high schools do not
provide adequate financial education to their students, leaving many young adults ill-
prepared to make informed financial decisions. This gap in the financial education is
particularly pronounced for students in the business strand, who are likely to encounter
complex financial decisions in their personal and professional lives.
The purpose this financial literacy program is to address this knowledge gap by providing
high school students in the business strand with the necessary financial education and skill
to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. The program will cover a range
of financial topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, credit management,
entrepreneurship, and financial planning, with the goal of promoting financial literacy and
responsible financial management among high school students in the business strands.
In summary, the lack of financial literacy among high school students in the business
strand is a pressing issue that can have long-term consequences. The proposed financial
literacy program aims to address this issue by providing students with the necessary
financial education and skills to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. By
promoting financial literacy and responsible financial management among high school
students in the business strand, this program can have a significant impact on the financial
well-being of young adults and their community.
IV. Evaluation
The intended outcomes of this project are to improve financial literacy among high
school students in the business strand increase their confidence in managing their finances
and equip them with the necessary skills to make informed financial decisions. Success will
be measured through pre- and post-program assessments, feedback from program
participants, and the number of students who apply the knowledge and skills learn from the
program in their personal lives.
