Educom to study ordinance on financial literacy for students

A proposed measure requiring all Grade 12 students in city public senior high schools to undergo a three-day financial literacy course will be taken up by the City Council committee on education, chaired by Councilor Jing Y. Daba IV.

Sponsored by Congressman Maximo T. Rodriguez III, the legislation aims to equip graduating students with essential knowledge and skills in personal finance to prepare them for adult life, promoting a generation of financially responsible, informed, and economically resilient Kagay-anons.

With the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants serving as the primary professional partner, the program will cover curriculum development, trainer provision, and implementation.

The course is proposed to be conducted in two batches annually. (JAO/SP)
