Financial education helps children understand the value of money, have the ability to plan and manage personal finances effectively, form saving habits, choose smart spending methods, know how to make wise financial decisions, and avoid risks. Financial education not only teaches about money but also teaches how to live responsibly, respect the value of labor, know how to share, and form good habits.
Recognizing the importance of financial education, most countries in the G20 group and OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) members have developed, deployed and implemented National Strategies on Financial Education. Many countries in Southeast Asia have developed financial education strategies quite early, such as Malaysia, Singapore (2003), Philippines (2008), Indonesia (2013), Thailand (2015)...
In Vietnam, the “National Comprehensive Financial Strategy to 2025, Vision to 2030” has been approved by the Prime Minister, which includes requirements for financial education, improving people’s financial capacity and knowledge. In the 2018 General Education Program, financial education content has also been integrated into a number of subjects.

The Financial Education book series aims to equip the young generation with financial knowledge and skills right from their school years, contributing to creating a generation of citizens with solid financial capacity and confidence in applying financial knowledge in real life.
This is also shared by Master Le Thi Thuy Sen, author of the book series. According to Ms. Sen, financial education is not only about imparting dry knowledge about money, saving or investing, but also a journey of sowing seeds of humanity, nurturing habits, behaviors and creating good financial virtues.
“Therefore, the greatest wish and reward for the author and the team of advisors and collaborators is that the book series is widely distributed to students to contribute to bringing good things about financial knowledge to the community and society,” said Master Le Thi Thuy Sen.
