Our school gives us the best opportunities, whether it be for sports or performing arts and our school definitely does not shy away from career/ future opportunities. Instead, they embrace it and make sure that we have a plan for our dreams and always motivate us to make them a reality.
In my opinion, this initiative our school has brought in is probably the most important and ironically something we all forget about, Finance. We as kids do not see the need to know about banks or loans or what to save and when to save because our parents handle all of that for us, but as we grow older and move away and live our own lives we will realise that all of this matters. That’s why it’s important to learn this earlier on so we will be ready to handle it when it comes. With this in mind, Modern has introduced the Kids’ Finance Initiative, sponsored by ENBD, which is the UAE’s leading provider of financial education for teens. By conducting in-depth programmes and workshops, KFI aims at equipping teens with the necessary financial management skills required by the Modern learner.
The main points to note for this initiative are:
• The programme will be delivered online, through an interactive webclass.
• Each student must join and switch on the camera for the duration of the class.
• Each student will receive a guide book and a certificate of completion of the programme.
• The program will run for one hour each day for 5 days from June 24th – June 30th from 10.00 to 11.00 am.
• The programme is cost free!
Initiating financial knowledge in your child is the first step to a successful and stable future!
