Cambodian students from grade 1 to 12 will begin studying basic financial skills starting in the 2019 academic year as the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) is now finalising the curriculum.

NBC director-general Chea Serey said Thursday that the new curriculum would help boost the students’ financial literacy at an early age.

While no new subject will be added to the existing national curriculum, Serey said financial literacy topics will be embedded into subjects like mathematics, home economics, social studies, life skills and civics.https://www.phnompenhpost.com/business/students-learn-financial-literacy
