Virginia’s Financial Literacy Standards Fall Short, Leaving Students Unprepared for Financial Future [Video]

Virginia was one of the first states to pass legislation mandating financial literacy education in 2006. While this mandate represents a positive step toward ensuring students acquire essential financial knowledge, it falls short of meeting the minimum educational standards established for other core high school subjects. As a result, students who complete the proposed coursework may not be adequately prepared to face near-term financial challenges. https://www.financialeducatorscouncil.org/virginia-financial-literacy-standards-and-mandates/
