SWO was invited to attend NPUPC 2023 at Xiamen University to share the importance of integrating financial literacy knowledge among the youth.

Why Should Financial Literacy Start From Young

Financial literacy should be integrated from a young age because it equips individuals with essential life skills that empower them to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. Starting early fosters a sense of responsibility and understanding about budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt, which can prevent financial pitfalls in the future. By instilling financial literacy in youth, we not only promote financial independence but also enhance their ability to weather economic challenges, make prudent choices, and ultimately secure a more stable and prosperous future. So that the younger generation is:
