Financial Literacy Standard Alignment Verified
The NFEC’s Financial Literacy Standards for learners and educators were developed to improve the quality and enhance the impact of financial literacy instruction. These standards define what a person should know about personal finance across the core areas of the subject matter and the best practices for teaching personal finance.
The objective was to create financial literacy standards and make them available to the public to provide educators, learners, and organizations with guidelines to help improve financial capabilities and enhance the long-term outcomes of financial literacy programming.
Working with a team of over a hundred professionals from financial services, traditional education, personal finance, and psychology – the NFEC developed standards for both the people delivering the education and those learning the subject matter.
