The Education Ministry has approved a United Nations Development Program proposal to introduce Financial Literacy Education into the school curriculum.
 
Education Minister Filipe Bole said the proposal augurs well with the Finance and Fijian Affairs Ministries proposals to start Entrepreneur Education.

The consultants of the proposed curriculum, Lyn Morris and Sharron Buer from UNDP, said Finance Literacy Education will strengthen Entrepreneur Education because people need to learn how to manage their finances before they can start a business.
 
The benefits of the proposed curriculum are it inculcates in Fiji's students knowledge, skills and values through financial literacy especially getting excellent value for the money they sweat for, and it develops a new generation of Fiji citizen who would manage better their personal finances.

According to the consultants, the Financial Education Curriculum has proven success in Samoa.
