The Korea Exchange announced on the 15th that it has delivered a donation of 86 million won for financial education for specialized high school students who are about to enter society to the Youth Education Council.

The project, which has been ongoing since 2012, aims to provide tailored financial education to help specialized high school students develop economic self-sufficiency.

This year, the plan is to conduct financial education for 4,000 high school students, including those from specialized high schools in the Busan area. Professional instructors will visit 45 schools to teach topics such as how to write an employment contract, understanding social insurance and financial products, and ways to prevent financial fraud.

In addition, programs specializing in employment, such as writing self-introductions and mock interview practices, as well as financial experience programs, including financial planning, will also be conducted at the Korea Exchange.

Chairman Jeong Eun-bo said, “We will continue to support the resolution of blind spots in financial education and enable various members of society to plan a stable future through finance.”
