CBSE kids to study investment

Updated on: Tuesday, December 27, 2011

"Investment education will be a part of CBSE curriculum in the near future," said U K Sinha, chairman of stock market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India. The study material will primarily focus on educating children on stock markets and giving them an insight on investment of surplus money in the market.

“We consulted the HRD ministry and the CBSE on including investment education/ financial market literacy. And CBSE agreed to the proposal,” Sinha said. He said the education will be provided to senior secondary students.

The National Stock Exchange said it has tied-up with some state governments to build programmes for school and college students on money management.
