A recent study cited that financial literacy rates among Americans has hit a 10-year low. Here in New Mexico, we are working to ensure that our students have adequate access to financial literacy courses before they graduate high school! ✏️🏫

In fact, 56 school districts have adopted financial literacy as a graduation requirement!🎓🎓. If your school district is not on the list, contact your local school board and urge them to add financial literacy to the list of high school graduation requirements!

Our students deserve it! 🎒 ... See MoreSee Less

💲Financial literacy💲 is one of the most important 💲Financial literacy💲 is one of the most important skills that we can teach our students. However, not all students have access to financial literacy courses. In a recent Wall Street Journal column, it's mentioned that most financial literacy classes begin as elective courses, often started by "by one passionate teacher who builds their own curriculum." In New Mexico, momentum around financial literacy is growing. As of today, 63% of New Mexico students are reached by financial literacy curriculum in either a semester or year-long required course! We are making progress! 💪💪 To read the full story, click on the link in our bio!

Students who take financial literacy courses in high school are better prepared for their financial futures! 💪💸
