Florida is one of the states in the US that has taken steps to improve financial literacy among its students. In 2021, the state passed a law that requires all high school students to take a one-semester course in financial literacy before graduating.

The mandate aims to equip students with the necessary skills to make informed financial decisions and manage their finances effectively. The course covers topics such as budgeting, saving, investing, credit scores, and debt management. By providing students with this education, Florida hopes to reduce financial stress and promote financial stability among its citizens.

Moreover, the law also requires that financial literacy be integrated into the state’s curriculum for grades K-12. This means that students will receive financial education throughout their schooling, starting from a young age.
