Financial literacy is KEY! ๐Ÿ”‘

Last year, we spoke with Sen. Antonio Maestas about the importance of financial literacy at the NextGen Personal Finance professional development event in Albuquerque.

School districts across New Mexico are recognizing the value of financial literacy education, and that's why today, 57 school districts have made financial literacy a graduation requirement! That's up from just ONE school district a year ago!

Think New Mexico has an ambitious education reform agenda, and we are excited to introduce you to our proposals over the next month! Make sure to follow along! ๐Ÿ’™ ... See MoreSee Less
