New "Outstanding Financial Education Program - Teacher Division" Established
Awards Ceremony for 153 Individuals and 22 Groups Scheduled for Late November
The Financial Supervisory Service announced on the 18th that it will hold the 20th Financial Contest, open to the entire nation, in order to foster public consensus on the importance of finance and financial education.
Since 2006, the Financial Supervisory Service has held the annual Financial Contest in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, 17 metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide, and six financial associations.
The contest will be held in four categories: Youth Financial Creative Works, University Student Financial Contest, Adult Financial Contest, and Outstanding Financial Education Programs.
This year, a new category, "Outstanding Financial Education Program - Teacher Division," has been established. This aims to support the revitalization of financial education in schools and encourage the use of exemplary cases in the field, in line with the introduction of new subjects such as "Finance and Economic Life."
An awards ceremony is scheduled for late November, where prizes will be given to individuals and organizations?153 individuals and 22 groups?across the four categories, following evaluation by a judging panel composed of external experts.
Winners will receive awards from the heads of the Financial Supervisory Service, the Ministry of Education, metropolitan and provincial offices of education, and each financial association, along with a cash prize.
The list of winners will be announced in early to mid-November through the e-Financial Education Center.
A representative from the Financial Supervisory Service stated, "Outstanding works and programs selected through the contest will be made available to the public nationwide and will be actively utilized in financial education."
