The program is based on the "Post-CSAT Financial Education for Third-Year High School Students" organized by the Financial Supervisory Service.

Toss plans to collaborate with Goyang City to sequentially provide education at six local high schools.

By next month, the program will visit Jeongbal High School, Seongsa High School, Goyangil High School, Neunggok High School, Hwajeong High School, and others. Around 1,000 students are expected to participate.

The first session was held on November 14 at Gyeonggi Visual Science High School. Students were taught about employment contracts and allowances they should know before their first part-time job, as well as the impact of overdue mobile phone bills on credit scores.

Toss, together with Goyang City, is also supporting on-site promotion and the successful implementation of the new "Finance and Economic Life" elective subject, which will be introduced in high schools starting next year.

Last month, a special on-site lecture on "Finance and Economic Life" was held for first-year students at Ilsan International Convention High School, where the purpose and learning objectives of the new subject were introduced.

A Toss representative said, "For young people about to enter society, finance is not just knowledge but a fundamental life skill," adding, "We will expand our education so that students can use financial services safely and wisely in their daily lives."
