“Smart Finance”: A Practical Financial Education Model

The “Smart Finance” playground is expected to not only stop at a competition, but become a sustainable financialeducation platform, held annually, attracting millions of students nationwide to participate.

How do you evaluate early financial education for students? What is the role of this in implementing the national financial inclusion strategy?

Early financial education for students is an inevitable requirement, suitable for the current context when Vietnam is aiming to build a comprehensive, fair and sustainable society. Financial education is not only teaching children how to save or spend reasonably, but also helping them know how to plan their finances, make decisions, solve problems and orient their independent thinking.

Equipping students with financial thinking from the time they are still in school is an important foundation for forming a generation of digital citizens who are both technologically competent and financially savvy. This is one of the practical actions contributing to the realization of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy to 2025, with a vision to 2030, which emphasizes the role of financial education in the community and schools.

Financial knowledge is often dry and difficult to understand. So what should be noted when teaching financial education to students, madam?

It is true that financial knowledge, if it only stops at theory and academic concepts, will easily become dry and difficult to understand - especially for high school students. Therefore, to effectively educate financial students, the most important thing is to choose an approach that is appropriate to their psychology and age, and at the same time, put students at the center of the learning experience.

Instead of just transmitting knowledge in one direction, we promote experiential learning, learning while playing - playing while learning with interactive games accompanied by questions simulating situations close to daily life. Specifically, the "Smart Finance" playground is designed according to a modern model, combining online competitions on the VioEdu platform and practical experience activities. Students will overcome financial challenges according to their level, practice very real - very real - skills such as financial planning, reasonable spending, effective saving and understanding the value of money, before entering the national final round. This is the way to help students approach financial knowledge in a natural, vivid and inspiring way.

What can we expect from the "Smart Finance" playground that VioEdu and Banking Times jointly organize for students?

The cooperation between Banking Times and FPT Corporation – through the online education system VioEdu – to organize the “Smart Finance” playground helps to bring a practical, accessible and suitable financial education model to students. The cooperation of Banking Times – a prestigious media agency in the field of finance and banking as a co-organizer and content consultant helps to ensure the authenticity and professional quality of the playground, while contributing to spreading the program’s value to the right audience.

We expect the “Smart Finance” playground to not only stop at a short-term competition, but become a sustainable financial education platform, held annually, attracting millions of students nationwide to participate. This will be an environment for students to practice their thinking and financial skills, and at the same time, it will be a place for agencies and organizations to monitor, evaluate and adjust the financial education orientation for students effectively and substantially.

Thank you!
