“After #FinancialEducation is required, my research has largely found that credit outcomes improve, and debt outcomes improve as well. That means credit scores go up, and students are less likely to miss payments.” - Dr. @Carly_Urban of @montanastate. https://t.co/zGe6EATjEG

[FinEd50 @FinEd50]

Exactly! With #FinancialEducation young people can make informed financial decisions.

"Many adults gained those skills through sometimes-expensive mistakes. That’s part of learning. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, & efforts to help students gain the basic skills to avoid learning the hard way are well worth it."

The research is clear! Young people who are exposed to #FinancialEducation are more likely to choose lower-cost methods of student borrowing.

Have you been following along New Yorkers? NYS's Blue Ribbon Commission released their report on education requirements. They agree that it is time for New York to ensure every student receives a quality #FinancialEducation

[FinEd50 @FinEd50]

Check out this great piece by the @NYSComptroller's office about the need for #FinancialEducation in New York! FinEd50 is committed to working alongside New Yorkers to expand access to quality financial education! https://t.co/7y87I1mBqr

[FinEd50 @FinEd50]

That's why we are fighting for every young person to receive a #FinancialEducation before they graduate high school! It's time we give young people the tools they need to succeed #FinEd50

Schools with higher poverty rates are less likely to have personal finance graduation requirements – meaning there isn’t equity in access to these courses unless there is a state-wide requirement

[FinEd50 @FinEd50]

Why are standalone #PersonalFinance requirements necessary? In states without a standalone requirement, only 44% of those schools actually require students to complete a course with personal finance content! #FinEd50

[FinEd50 @FinEd50]

As more and more states expand access to #FinancialEducation to K-12 students, we've started asking what comes next? At FinEd50 we are dedicated to working with states to help coordinate professional development efforts in states with new requirements! https://t.co/1pjNyfchWl
