Unlock the door to financial literacy with our compelling conversation with Teresa Mungai, the Director of Education Services and Impact at the Arizona Council on Economic Education. Financial literacy has never been more essential for students navigating complex economic realities. April is Financial Literacy Month, bringing forth vital conversations about money management and economic choices that affect every aspect of life. Teresa’s expertise shines as she delves into the significance of financial principles and how they shape the future of students in Arizona and beyond.
This episode explores the newly established Seal of Personal Finance, which recognizes students’ dedication to understanding financial concepts.
