Do You Know as Much About Personal Finance as These Savvy High-Schoolers?

The National Personal Finance Competition (NPFC), hosted by CEE, recently concluded. Over 120 high school students participated, showcasing their understanding of personal finance. In the final round, four teams competed by answering questions on various financial topics. The Wall Street Journal created two quizzes featuring some of these questions, allowing everyone to compare their financial knowledge with that of the nation’s high school finalists. Personal finance reporter Ashlea Ebeling joined Wall Street Journal podcast host Oyin Adedoyin and Caleb Lee, a member of the NPFC winning team, to discuss the process of creating the quiz and the experience of the students answering the questions competitively.

About the Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities, and learn to successfully navigate in our ever-changing economy. We carry out our mission in three ways.  We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources – online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide – to more than 40,000 teachers annually who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program.
