“Mandatory financial education content will be taught for the first semester,” Rosado said at the presentation of the National Survey of Financial Inclusion (ENIF) 2021.
254 technological institutions and more than 600,000 high school students will participate in this program.
Basic education schools in Mexico City will also have a pilot program that will include teacher training.
The Condusef added that it will support the SEP during the next school year to update the materials for these subjects. It will also support the training of teachers.
Rosado said in his speech that the lack of economic opportunities, the consequences of the pandemic and the lack of financial culture are the main challenges to overcome.
The most recent data from the ENIF showed that although the number of people with access to a financial product increased, there is still a gap between men and women.
