(Telestock) – Following the launch of the Financial Education Alliance, which took place in June at Palazzo Altieri during the celebration of its Tenth Anniversary, the Foundation for Financial Education and Savings (FEduF) is starting its support action for teachers of all school levels to bring into the classroom the basic economic skills called for by the new guidelines for teaching Civic Education.
The appointment “Educating in the Time of Complexity: economic skills in civic education”, which involves the participation of over 500 teachers, offers an opportunity for a concrete in-depth study of the ministerial indications and programs made available by institutional bodies that have been active in this area for some time: in addition to FEduF itself, Banca d’Italia, Consob and Museo del Risparmio.
The focus on financial education in the context of Civic Education is addressed from different points of view, bringing to the center of the debate numerous experiences thanks to the contributions of Giovanna Boggio Robutti – FEduF, Luca Tucci – Ministry of Education and Merit, Anna Finocchiaro, President of Italiadecide, Sabrina Greco and Carlo di Chiacchio – Invalsi, Carlotta Rossi – Bank of Italy, Paola Soccorso – Consob and Giovanna Paladino – Museum of Savings.
“THETogether with the many entities with which we collaborate, we have always supported a vision of financial education based on constitutional rights and ethics.keeping two fundamental aspects in mind. – comments Giovanna Boggio Robutti, Dg FEduF – the first is the correct relationship with money, an indispensable tool for individual and social well-being and sustainability; the second is a principle of economic democracy by which each individual must be put in a position to make conscious and informed choices in the economic sphere, to protect savings and long-term financial planning.”
during the OECD PISA 2022 survey, carried out with the aim of identifying what fifteen-year-olds today know and can do in this area and how ready they are to face their future from a financial point of view: Italy obtains a score of 484 points and is placed below the OECD average (498).
It should be noted that, compared to previous cycles, at an international average level, an improvement of 11 points was found compared to 2015: in the 2022 survey, Italy obtained a score higher than that of 2012 by 17 points, although it does not differ significantly from that achieved in 2015 and 2018.
Italy’s improvement in the average score compared to PISA 2012 corresponds to an increase in the number of students reaching the highest level of performance (+3 percentage points), going from 2% in 2012 to 5% in 2022.
