Financial Supervisory Service Awards Outstanding Groups for 'One Company One School Financial Education' Program

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), in collaboration with six financial associations, announced on the 26th that it will award the FSS Commissioner’s Award and Financial Association President’s Award to 120 recipients, including schools, teachers, financial clubs, financial companies, and employees who showed outstanding performance in last year’s 'One Company One School Financial Education' program. Forty-six recipients will receive the FSS Commissioner’s Award, and seventy-four will receive the Financial Association President’s Award.

The FSS originally planned to hold an awards ceremony on the 27th, but to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it decided to replace the event with the distribution of a video containing congratulatory remarks from FSS Commissioner Yoon Seok-heon, interviews with awardees, and photos of last year’s activities.

The 'One Company One School Financial Education' program involves financial company branches nationwide forming sisterhood ties with nearby elementary, middle, and high schools to provide students with various forms of financial education, such as experiential and on-site lessons. Approximately 66% of elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide have formed partnerships, and about 2 million students have participated in the education so far.
