financial literacy education

From: em203emonney (@em203emonney)

@BradWood37701 @SecScottBessent @USTreasury I’m working on a paper about financial literacy gaps among students and am looking for input from educators, professionals, and advocates. What money skills are students missing most, and which approaches actually make a difference? Expert insight would be appreciated

Suggested angles

The critical gap between basic budgeting knowledge and real-world financial decision-making skills like debt management and investing

How behavioral economics and psychology should be integrated into financial literacy curricula to address emotional spending and long-term planning

The disparities in financial education access across socioeconomic backgrounds and how to scale effective programs to underserved communities

Example quote

“Students often learn financial concepts in isolation, but what's missing is the behavioral framework to understand why they make poor decisions under stress—that's where lasting change happens.”

Position your expertise as addressing a specific skills gap (e.g., behavioral finance literacy, debt psychology, or equity in financial education access) with evidence of what interventions move the needle.
