Financial Education in Schools: Guidelines for the Financial Services Industry

These guidelines provide the basis for primary, post-primary schools and financial services providers to form quality, inclusive and relevant educational links, aimed at improving financial literacy, financial resilience and overall financial wellbeing for children and young people.

The overall aim of these guidelines is to build quality partnerships between schools and the financial services industry in delivering financial education programmes across the country.

These programmes should be in line with best international practice, including the EU / OECD Financial Competence Framework for Children and Youth in the European Union.
