They focus on teaching concepts like earning income, budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and making informed decisions about borrowing and investing. These standards aim to prepare students to handle personal finances responsibly, adapt to economic changes, and develop healthy financial habits for lifelong financial security. Implemented consistently across schools, they help ensure students gain practical knowledge that supports their personal and future economic well-being.
