New Standards for Personal Financial Education are Released

MAFCS PUBLIC POLICY is pleased to announce that Jump$tart and the Council for Economic Education have collaborated on a single, unified set of standards that will guide educators, curriculum writers, policymakers, and other financial education stakeholders across the country to promote effective, comprehensive financial education for K-12 students.

The new national Standards reflect the evolution of financial services, current approaches to financial education, and a more intentional inclusiveness of all users.  MAFCS passed a resolution on Financial Literacy in 2020; work with legislators is an on-going endeavor.  Please review the New Standards link in the PDF file that can be accessed here https://tinyurl.com/4xtzpcht .
