• Minister Mohamed Abdellatif: Integrating ‘Financial Literacy’ is a pivotal step toward cultivating a well-informed generation equipped with the economic fundamentals and resource management skills essential for the future.
• Islam Azzam: Promoting financial literacy is a fundamental pillar for bolstering economic stability and fostering a more financially aware and resilient society.

Mr. Mohamed Abdellatif, Minister of Education and Technical Education, held a meeting with Dr. Islam Azzam, FRA Chairman to discuss mechanisms for cooperation to incorporate “Financial Literacy” into school curricula. The curriculum will cover concepts of the stock market, trading, and financial transactions, as part of the state’s strategy to build economic awareness among students and develop their skills in dealing with contemporary financial issues.

Minister Mohamed Abdellatif emphasized that the Ministry prioritizes developing school curricula to align with modern requirements. He noted that incorporating “Financial Literacy” is a significant move toward raising a conscious generation that understands the basics of economics and resource management, enabling them to make sound financial decisions.

The Minister added that this direction reflects the Ministry’s commitment to equipping students with applied life skills that contribute to building a well-rounded personality, which in turn supports sustainable development efforts.

Furthermore, the Minister pointed out the Ministry’s trend toward enhancing financial awareness among students by introducing them to concepts of the stock exchange, securities markets, and the importance of saving and investment. This aims to build economic awareness from early educational stages.

Minister Abdellatif also stressed that this step runs parallel with the integration of modern technology into the educational process—most notably teaching programming and Artificial Intelligence, which was implemented this academic year. This ensures students possess the skills necessary to keep pace with global developments in technology and the digital economy.

For his part, Dr. Islam Azzam welcomed the cooperation with the Ministry of Education, affirming that spreading financial literacy is a fundamental pillar for bolstering economic stability and building a more conscious society. He explained that FRA will provide all necessary technical support to ensure students study financial literacy in accordance with international best practices.

During the meeting, it was agreed to finalize all preparations to reveal the full details of this initiative in the coming period.

The meeting was attended by Dr. Ahmed Daher, Deputy Minister; Dr. Ayman Bahaa, Deputy Minister; Dr. Mohamed Abdel Aziz, Assistant to FRA Chairman; and Ms. Dina Kamal, Financial Literacy Policy Expert.
