Policy & Advocacy for Financial Education
Advocating for more and better economic & personal finance education nationwide
As a national leader in economic and personal finance education, we advocate for:
- Required coursework in economics and personal finance for K-12 students
- State standards that serve to prepare students to compete in an increasingly global economy
- Legislation and education policies that support high quality training programs for teachers
Survey of the States
CEE believes there should be high school course requirements in economics and personal finance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. CEE’s important, biennial report brings attention to the critical importance of economics and personal finance education by documenting its status state by state.
FinEd50
CEE, in partnership with Visa, has created FinEd50, an initiative that advocates for positive change in education policy at the state level. We invite non-profit organizations, researchers, and corporate partners to join FinEd50.
Econ Ed Month
October is officially National Economic Education Month! During this month, we promote the importance of teaching economics in our schools through economic focused workshops, a student contest, and community events.
