CEE is a leader in defining national standards for the teaching of K-12 personal finance, outlining what students should know by grade level. Our latest National Standards for Personal Financial Education, released in 2021, identify knowledge, skills, and decision-making abilities that young people should acquire during their education to prepare students for their lives as smart consumers. The six core areas of personal finance we identified, in partnership with the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, offer young people a base level of knowledge they should acquire for their lives as smart consumers.

Here’s what the next generation should know:

Earning Income

How people earn income:

Most people earn wage and salary income in return for working, and they can also earn income from interest, dividends, rents, entrepreneurship, business profits, or investments. Employee compensation may also include access to employee benefits such as retirement plans and health insurance.

What types of work and workers make more money?

Employers generally pay higher wages and salaries to more educated, skilled, and productive workers. The decision to invest in additional education or training can be made by weighing the benefit of increased income-earning and career potential against the opportunity costs in the form of time, effort, and money.

Impact of Taxes on Earnings

Spendable income is lower than gross income due to taxes assessed on income by federal, state, and local governments.

Spending

What is a budget?

A budget is a plan for allocating a person’s spendable income to necessary and desired goods and services. When there is sufficient money in their budget, people may decide to give money to others, save, or invest to achieve future goals.

How do I make good spending decisions?

People can often improve their financial wellbeing by making well-informed spending decisions, which includes critical evaluation of price, quality, product information, and method of payment. Individual spending decisions may be influenced by financial constraints, personal preferences, unique needs, peers, and advertising.

Saving

How do I decide how much I should save?

People who have sufficient income can choose to save some of it for future uses such as emergencies or later purchases. Savings decisions depend on individual preferences and circumstances.

How do I decide where I should put my savings?

Funds needed for transactions, bill-paying, or purchases, are commonly held in federally insured checking or savings accounts at financial institutions because these accounts offer easy access to their money and low risk. Interest rates, fees, and other account features vary by type of account and among financial institutions, with higher rates resulting in greater compound interest earned by savers.

Investing

Why invest?

Kids can choose to invest some of their money in financial assets to achieve long-term financial goals, such as buying a house, funding future education, or securing retirement income. Investors receive a return on their investment in the form of income and/or growth in value of their investment over time. People can more easily achieve their financial goals by investing steadily over many years, reinvesting dividends, and capital gains to compound their returns.

How do I decide where I should invest?

Investors have many choices of investments that differ in expected rates of return and risk. Riskier investments tend to earn higher long-run rates of return than lower-risk investments. Investors select investments that are consistent with their risk tolerance, and they diversify across a number of different investment choices to reduce investment risk.

Managing Credit

What is credit?

Credit allows people to purchase and enjoy goods and services today, while agreeing to pay for them in the future, usually with interest. There are many choices for borrowing money, and lenders charge higher interest and fees for riskier loans or riskier borrowers. Lenders evaluate creditworthiness of a borrower based on the type of credit, past credit history, and expected ability to repay the loan in the future.

What is a credit score and why does it matter?

Credit reports compile information on a person’s credit history, and lenders use credit scores to assess a potential borrower’s creditworthiness. A low credit score can result in a lender denying credit to someone they perceive as having a low level of creditworthiness.

How do I build credit /my creditworthiness?

Common types of credit include credit cards, auto loans, home mortgage loans, and student loans. The cost of post-secondary education can be financed through a combination of grants, scholarships, work-study, savings, and federal or private student loans.

Managing Risk

What does it mean to manage risk?

People are exposed to personal risks that can result in lost income, assets, health, life, or identity. They can choose to manage those risks by accepting, reducing, or transferring them to others.

What is insurance and when do I need it?

When people transfer risk by buying insurance, they pay money now in return for the insurer covering some or all financial losses that may occur in the future. Common types of insurance include health insurance, life insurance, and homeowner’s or renter’s insurance. The cost of insurance is related to the size of the potential loss, the likelihood that the loss event will happen, and the risk characteristics of the asset or person being insured. Identity theft is a growing concern for consumers and businesses. Stolen personal information can result in financial losses and fraudulent credit charges. The risk of identity theft can be minimized by carefully guarding personal financial information.

The results are in and students From California, Alabama, Arkansas and Kansas have been named top in the U.S.A. in CEE’s National Personal Finance Challenge!

The National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC) is a nationwide competition that offers high school students the opportunity to build and demonstrate their knowledge in the concepts of earning income, spending, saving, investing, managing credit, and managing risk.

In the first round, competitors complete a 30-question, online rapid-fire exam. In regional and national finals, students use what they have learned from the six areas of knowledge to create a financial plan for a fictitious family scenario. This year, the students wowed us with their ability to advise the Wallace family in this year’s case study on important real-life personal finance matters such as calculating a retirement age, budgeting for a mortgage, car payments, education, and caring for elderly parents. We invite you to watch the recording of the presentations on the CEE YouTube channel.

“Understanding the basics of personal finance unlocks a wealth of opportunities for life,” said Nan. J. Morrison, CEE president and chief executive officer. “We congratulate this year’s NPFC championship teams and all the students, teachers and CEE affiliates who bring these essential skills to life in competitions and in classrooms.”

The National Personal Finance Challenge is supported by Voya Financial, as part of its mission to make secure financial futures possible — one person, one family, one institution at a time. Together with Voya Foundation, Voya works to support programming around the country that prepares students for the workforce of the future and to manage their future income through life to a secure retirement.

Winning schools, team members and teachers in the 2023 NPFC national finals are:

Congratulations!!

With financial uncertainty facing families across America, high school students from coast to coast during October’s Economic Education Month will push educators and policymakers for equal access to the economic knowledge they need to thrive now and into their futures.

Student-focused and general Econ Ed Month advocacy toolkits from the Council for Economic Education (CEE) will help encourage legislators, school boards, school districts and other stakeholders to provide full access to the economic lessons young people need to make informed decisions throughout their lives.

Only half the states currently mandate economics classes for graduation, according to CEE’s biennial Survey of
the States.

“The disparity in economic education threatens to leave millions of America’s high school students in the economic wilderness and also tends to deny life-shaping information to students of color and young people in less advantaged school districts,” said Nan J. Morrison, CEE president and CEO. “We’ve developed tools and events for Econ Ed Month in response to requests from students, families and educators who are urgently calling for economics curriculum to be equally available to all.”

Working with CEE state affiliates in Georgia, Nebraska and Oklahoma, CEE launched the first Economic Education Month in 2021. In addition to the new advocacy toolkits, this October features economics-focused weeks of action, classroom resources, professional development for teachers and a nationwide student video contest encouraging young people to answer, “How is economics part of my everyday life?” CEE and its affiliates are issuing calls for video contest submissions to teachers across the USA; winners will receive cash prizes.

Economic Education Month kicks off Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 with CEE’s 61st Financial Literacy & Economic Education Conference. This annual event offers workshops for K–12 educators who include economics and personal finance in their classes.

And on Oct. 6, CEE will feature the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Loretta J. Mester, in a live online discussion with Rebecca Patterson, CEE board chair and chief investment strategist for Bridgewater Associates. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System also is sponsoring a series of other economic education month activities.

Visa and the Council for Economic Education partnered to launch FinEd50, a nationwide coalition of nonprofits, community leaders, and corporate partners dedicated to improving access to quality financial education for students in the United States.

“The state of financial education offered to students in the U.S. varies significantly. Where students live should not impact whether they have access to knowledge that will help them learn how to make informed financial decisions in their lives,” said Worku Gachou, head of North America, inclusive impact & sustainability, at Visa. “Visa is proud to be a cofounding partner of FinEd50 and we welcome all who are passionate about ensuring young people have access to financial education to join us.”

According to CEE’s 2022 Survey of the States, only 27 states require schools to offer a personal finance course and the quality of courses varies wildly. While there has been some progress over the last decade, many young people in financially disadvantaged communities remain without access to a personal finance class. Delivering financial education through digital channels and in classroom settings can help children understand how to budget and build wealth, which can lead to more economically prosperous lives.

“America is failing our children when we don’t provide them with opportunities to study critical economic and personal finance concepts before they leave high school for college, for jobs and for their futures,” said Nan J. Morrison, CEE president and chief executive officer. “While we’re encouraged by some progress in our latest Survey, all young people across the country need more and deserve better.”

The FinEd50 coalition will be dedicated to achieving:

• State-level action that guarantees equitable access to a personal finance course for every student.
• Curriculum that meets the National Standards for Personal Financial Education and is culturally relevant to students’ lives.

• Providing teachers with access to professional development through innovative funding mechanisms.
• A measurement mechanism to track access and ensure equitable reach.

This new coalition builds on Visa’s more than 30-year commitment to developing innovative, free, and easily accessible financial education resources for businesses, individuals, and communities. Learn more about Visa’s commitment to financial education here.

Students From Florida, California and Texas Win First Place in the Council for Economic Education’s National Personal Finance Challenge and National Economics Challenge

Demonstrating winning knowledge of personal finance and economics that sets young people on paths to lifelong success, students from Land O’ Lakes High School in Florida, The Harker School in San Jose and St. John’s School in Houston scored top nationwide rankings in the National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC) and two divisions of the National Economics Challenge (NEC) organized by the Council for Economic Education (CEE).

“You don’t learn about managing your money just by wishing, or about making complex economic choices just by following the news. It’s tough to thrive if you don’t understand,” said Nan J. Morrison, president and chief executive officer of CEE. “The students on these teams demonstrated an extraordinary level of knowledge in part because their schools offer classes in these life-essential topics.”

Only 25 states require students to take a course in economics to graduate, while 24 require a class in personal finance, according to CEE and its 2022 Survey of the States.

To reach the final competition in New York City, school teams had to first win their state titles and then rise to the top in a semifinal round last month.

“We strongly believe that financial education helps young people in all income levels become smarter consumers, lead more productive lives and build stronger communities,” said Heather Lavallee, CEO of Wealth Solutions, Voya Financial, which sponsors the NPFC. “We congratulate the winners and everyone who’s taken or teaches these important classes.”

Every student on each finalist team receives a cash prize.

Winning teams in the NPFC national finals:

• Land O’ Lakes High School of Land O’ Lakes, Florida – first place
• Applications and Research Laboratory school of Ellicott City, Maryland – first runner-up
• Ardrey Kell High School of Charlotte, North Carolina – second runner-up
• Germantown High School from Madison, Mississippi – third runner-up

Championships in the NEC are staged in two groups based on experience levels.

he NEC’s David Ricardo Division for first-time competitors:

• St. John’s School of Houston, Texas- first place
• Phillips Exeter Academy from Exeter, New Hampshire – first runner-up
• Mt. Hebron High School of Ellicott City, Maryland – second runner-up
• Dana Hall School of Wellesley, Massachusetts – third runner-up

In the NEC Adam Smith Division for advanced and returning competitors:

• The Harker School of San Jose, California – first place
• Mt. Hebron High School of Ellicott City, Maryland – first runner-up
• ‘Iolani School of Honolulu, Hawaii – second runner-up
• Troy High School of Troy, Michigan – third runner-up

In subsequent international rounds, St. John’s outscored China’s David Ricardo championship team from Shandong and Harker defeated China’s Adam Smith team from Shanghai.

New FinEd50 Initiative from Visa & CEE Aims to Accelerate Financial Education Requirements for All Students

Despite advances in ensuring access to personal finance classes in K-12 schools, there’s troubling stagnation in equally important economics education, according to the 2022 Survey of the States: Economic and Personal Finance Education in Our Nation’s Schools by the Council for Economic Education (CEE).

“America is failing our children when we don’t provide them with opportunities to study critical economic and personal finance concepts before they leave high school for college, for jobs and for their futures,” said Nan J. Morrison, CEE president and chief executive officer. “While we’re encouraged by some progress in our latest Survey, all young people across the country need more and deserve better.”

Only 25 states require students to take a course in economics to graduate high school, the 2022 Survey found — a standstill from 2020′s Survey and an increase of only three states in the last decade. And several states, including Georgia and South Carolina, are considering removing economics from graduation requirements.

Parallel requirements for personal finance are on an encouraging upward path, the Survey found. States mandating that for graduation grew to 23, up by two – Nebraska and New Mexico – since 2020. Ohio and Mississippi updated their requirements to a standalone personal finance course. And the Florida legislature just this month unanimously sent to Gov. Ron DeSantis a bill that would make it the most populous state to require personal finance for graduation.

As noted in the Survey, “Absent exposure to both subjects, America’s young people are denied full access to the knowledge they need to successfully navigate their lives as both individuals and as members of larger and increasingly complex communities and societies.”

Adds Morrison, “Short-changing universal access hits particularly hard on historically underserved students and students of color. When requirements and funding vary among districts, the disparate quality and effectiveness of financial education create and extend inequities. Intentional statewide approaches help move the equity needle for all.”

With data showing millions of students left in the dark on money matters, Visa (NYSE: V), which helped fund this year’s Survey, and CEE are launching FinEd50, a coalition of private, public and nonprofit leaders that will promote guaranteed access everywhere to these essential courses. FinEd50 members also will provide additional training and curriculum support to teachers and school districts.

“The state of financial education offered to students in the U.S. varies significantly. Where students live should not impact whether they have access to knowledge that will help them learn how to make informed financial decisions in their lives,” said Worku Gachou, head of North America, inclusive impact & sustainability, at Visa. “Visa is proud to be a cofounding partner of FinEd50 and we welcome all who are passionate about ensuring young people have access to financial education to join us.”

Since 1998, CEE has collected and analyzed data from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, making the biennial Survey of the States an important benchmark for tracking progress on economic and personal financial education.

The full 2022 Survey report with detailed tables and methodology is available at SurveyOfTheStates.com. Additional information on the coalition is at FinEd50.com. And join the conversation at #SURVEYOFTHESTATES.
