NGPF’s 2022 State of Financial Education Report shows access to personal finance courses is expanding in U.S. high schools
April 21, 2022 | prnewswire.com
The analysis of over 11,000 high school course catalogs shows that national access to financial education is improving. In 2018, just 5 states guaranteed standalone personal finance courses for all high schoolers. Today, 8 have fully implemented statewide guarantees and 4 are beginning implementation. Just in the last year, over 300,000 additional students have gained access to guaranteed financial education within their high schools. Nationally, guaranteed access to personal finance courses expanded to nearly 1 in 4 public high school students in 2022, and will increase to 1 in 3 in the coming years based on the states currently implementing new state-wide legislation (Florida, Nebraska, Ohio, and Rhode Island).
