Provision of Certificates and Opportunities for On-Site Training at the Financial Supervisory Service

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] The Financial Supervisory Service announced on the 22nd that it will open a 'Children's Financial School' where 200 elementary school students can learn about and experience finance.

The 'Children's Financial School' will be conducted online, involving reading educational materials and watching videos related to the learning topics, followed by completing fun assignments with their parents. For example, after reading materials and watching videos about insurance, students might investigate the insurance their parents have or design an insurance plan they would like to create for a friend.

The program covers a total of 17 topics through education and experiential assignments, continuing weekly during vacations and biweekly during the school term. It will run from July this year until February next year.

Applicants are elementary school students in grades 4 to 6 nationwide. The country is divided into six regions proportional to the number of elementary students in each area, and 200 students will be selected by lottery. The application period is from the 23rd of this month until the 16th of next month. Applicants must submit a motivation statement of about 300 characters explaining why they want to join the 'Children's Financial School' via email. The selection results will be announced on the 20th of next month through the Financial Education Center and other channels.

Participants will receive educational materials, board games, allowance ledgers, and various souvenirs. Those who meet the completion criteria (70% or higher) will be awarded a certificate of completion signed by the Financial Supervisory Service Commissioner and will also have the opportunity to attend on-site education at the Financial Supervisory Service.

A Financial Supervisory Service official explained, "Our staff will act as mentors, answering students' questions and providing feedback on their assignments."
