    Financial and Economic Literacy in Schools – support academic material for civic education teachers

     

    Following its integration into the National Curriculum for Financial and Economic Literacy, the National Bank of Georgia developed support school materials for 7th grade civic education teachers, supported by of German Sparkassenstiftung for International Cooperation (SBFIC) and Civic Education Teachers' Forum.

     

    Financial and economic literacy issues intended for the basic level were merged into the discipline "Citizenship" under the new National Curriculum. Following the same curriculum, teaching started in 2019-2020 for the first time in the 7th grade and will continue in the following years, gradually, in the upper grades of the basic level. This support material was developed based on the annual curriculum of "Citizenship" discipline and aims to support teachers.

     

    The material covers all the economic and financial issues given in the 7th grade annual plan. These issues are:

     

    • Money and barter
    • Market (demand-and-supply) and price
    • Private and public property
    • Revenues, spending and budgeting (managing personal finance)
    • Saving and charity

     

    Worksheets for classroom activities and exercises and detailed instructions for teachers are enclosed to the study material. The material does not suffice with expanding/enriching theoretical knowledge, but also includes many practical tips and activities for lesson planning and conduct.
