Financial Literacy in The HS

Don Ytzen
I have taught economics in the past, and this topic is a essential part of the course. I currently teach World History, and U.S. History in Kuwait at the Universal American School. Our school tends to have students from Kuwait, Middle East, south east asia, and eastern Europe. (very few north americans)
I would incorporate financial literacy into the history classes at different time periods; introduction of the banking system, compare/analyze the cost of large scale projects in the past with projects of today. The various times of economic depression. We also have a group known as INJAZ here n Kuwait.
INJAZ-Kuwait is a non-profit organization that was established in Kuwait in 2005 with a mission to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. INJAZ-Kuwait works with students between the ages of 11-24 years through implementing programs in middle schools, high schools, vocational colleges and universities. Our various programs help prepare students for future success in Kuwait’s private sector based on 3 core pillars:

Entrepreneurship
Work Readiness
Financial Literacy

We are able to utilize their resources for our students.
