Junior Achievement will also receive $250,000 per year over the next three years to work with teachers to provide young learners in grades 3 to 6 with hands-on, experiential financial literacy programming, work readiness and entrepreneurship education. This programming will support financial literacy learnings in the new K-6 Physical Education and Wellness curriculum being implemented in classrooms this fall.
Their programs focused on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship give students the skills and confidence they need to become leaders of tomorrow.
“All three organizations have a successful track record of delivering high-quality and engaging financial literacy resources to Canadian students. This increased funding will give schools more choice in financial literacy programming and ensure students have access to financial literacy education now and in the future”.
