[New Release] An Elementary School Teacher's Financial Education... "If You Age 5 Years Every Month"

The content of the 'Retirement Preparation at Age 13' class, which provided essential financial knowledge tailored to children's understanding over nine months for elementary school teachers, has been compiled into a book. The author, an elementary school teacher, developed the economic education program for children based on personal experience of struggling to understand the real financial system despite achieving a top grade in the college entrance exam's economics subject. The program uses a time travel theme to simulate life stages such as university admission, marriage, employment, and retirement in advance. As children age five years each month in the simulation, they invest in stocks and respond to various situations like interest rate changes, naturally acquiring economic concepts. Recognized for presenting a new paradigm in financial education, the program received the Financial Supervisory Service Commissioner’s Award in 2021 and the Korea Economic Education Award in 2024.
