Govt, Karandaaz Pakistan join hands to boost financial literacy

In a bid to empower the youth with essential life skills, the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training (MoFE&PT) has joined forces with Karandaaz Pakistan to enhance financial literacy education among students.

This strategic partnership aims to train 3,000 teachers from over 340 schools in the federal territory.

The training programme, designed by Karandaaz Pakistan, will directly impact more than 134,000 students, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the complexities of the modern economy.

The initiative places a strong emphasis on fostering financial responsibility among young individuals, preparing them for financial decision-making and management in their personal and professional lives.

By instilling these fundamental skills early on, the collaboration seeks to contribute to the socioeconomic development of the country and promote inclusive growth.

The MoFE&PT and Karandaaz Pakistan partnership reflects a shared commitment to socioeconomic progress and inclusive growth.

“We are bringing technology into our curriculum so that our new generation can also understand technology in time and be in line with the modern requirements of the present,” he said while also emphasising that the government was making every effort to bring out-of-school children into schools. “We want every child to get a good education and contribute to the development of the country,” he said.
