Financial Literacy Activities for Filipino Kids

This is the first of the many blogs about fun, financial literacy activities for Filipino kids. This blog is inspired by my Masteral thesis which is currently ongoing at the University of the Philippines (Diliman) under the Special Education Program of the College Education.

My dream is to be able to make use of my research in different schools vis-a-vis touching the lives of thousands and even millions of Filipino kids who are going to be future consumers and employers of our country.

I dream that instead of breeding future employees and telling our students to find a good decent job with a decent pay, we will be encouraging them to be entrepreneurs, businessmen and businesswomen, creators, scientists, innovators and visionaries.

Hence, this blog will contain a collection of all the articles I have collected in my research, strategies different countries are doing to promote financial literacy for children but at the same time it will be made in the light which is fun, exciting and engaging.

It will give information on how is our country doing compared to our neighbors in promoting financial literacy to their kids. Are we at par? or are we left behind? Howe can we improve? What can parents and teachers do to promote this? What can banks do? government officials? business owners? and other possible stakeholders for this project.

Let's start the wonderful journey of imparting Financial Literacy Activities to Filipino kids.
