This partnership is expected to play a critical role in providing financial education to teachers and students all over Kenya.
Understanding finance and personal financial planning and management skills is essential, especially as people become increasingly dependent on digital platforms.
“Although these services defeat the challenges of geographical distances, lack of infrastructure and access to the formal banking sector means they cannot be optimally used in the absence of financial education,” said Arthur Oginga, Group CEO UAP Old Mutual.
“Financial Literacy and education are central to productivity in every sector. By inclusively having this in the curriculum, we build productivity and developmental competencies in every learning area as we develop a skilled and ethical society,’’ said Professor Charles Ong’ondo, CEO KICD.
