The officials have shared that the pilot training programme is also working with the national financial education initiative. The programme has been designed to equip students with essential money management skills.
The members of the community have shared that it is important for the educators to make sure that they are teaching the people of the island to work in tandem with the administration’s mandate to bring children to more financial literacy.
The members of the teaching staff and management of the two high schools were delighted to participate in this mandate by the administration of St Kitts and Nevis. The officials have shared that the session will help prepare teachers to deliver the ASPIRE Financial Education Curriculum in the primary and secondary schools.
The ASPIRE programme is a flagship of the government of St Kitts and Nevis and will be one of the most important initiatives for the benefit of the future of the country. The organization has shared that they want their youngsters to start at the starting line of financial freedom and not behind it.
St Kitts and Nevis is the only nation in the Caribbean and the western hemisphere to implement such an initiative in its full potential. The members of the community will be able to bring the people of the island nation into better financial security and give them more support and encouragement in making financial decisions.
The youngsters of a nation are its future and so far, more than 5000 youngsters have enrolled in the ASPIRE programme in the first year.
Further, the administration has invested over 4 Million Dollars into the programme for the future of the youngsters.
