The Central Bank of Uruguay (BCU) and the National Public Education Administration (ANEP) signed an agreement on Tuesday to promote economic and financial education within the curricular framework of all educational levels. The agreement will cover the general scope of public education and teacher training.
The signed agreement provides for three lines of work, indicated the BCU through a statement. On the one hand, the progressive introduction of the subject in the curricular framework of all educational levels of ANEP.
It will also aim to sensitize the educational communities of ANEP through the approach to the subject. In addition, it will seek the training of educators for the incorporation of knowledge and pedagogical tools for the teaching of economics and finance in the classroom.
The president of the BCU, Diego Labat, highlighted the relevance of the agreement to help children and young people obtain a financial education from an early age.
For his part, the president of ANEP’s Central Board of Directors, Robert Silva, said that this agreement was signed in what he described as “an exceptional moment of curricular transformation.”
