In proclaiming April as National Financial Capability Month, President Obama said the White House would “renew our drive to give all Americans the tools to navigate the financial world and gain the economic freedom to pursue their own measure of happiness.”
The president re-established an advisory council earlier this year to counsel him on the most effective strategies to teach kids the basics of finance.
John Rogers, who chairs the president’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans, said:
We think we can get young people started as early as first grade. We want to get people involved and engaged so they can build financial capability over time. The same way they get language skills, math skills, science skills that build over time. You want your financial literacy skills to build in the same way.
The second European Money Week starts on Monday 14 March, promoting national financial education projects for young people in more than 20 European countries. The week is filled of many different initiatives by national banking associations, under coordination by the European Banking Federation.
In Brussels, you can join us for the launch event in the Residence Palace Press Centre. The programme for the event will be announced shortly.
