A recent report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) highlights a concerning trend: teenagers in affluent countries lack the financial literacy and mathematical skills essential for thriving in today's digital economy. Despite increased access to banking products, a significant number of 15-year-olds struggle with understanding key financial concepts, with a fifth finding it challenging to calculate percentages.
This gap underscores the critical need for comprehensive financial education. At Swiss International University (SIU), with campuses in Zurich, Dubai, Bishkek, Luzern, Riga, and London, we recognize the importance of equipping our students with robust financial acumen. Our curriculum integrates practical financial training, ensuring that graduates are prepared to navigate and lead in the complex financial landscapes of the modern world.
By fostering a global learning environment, SIU is committed to bridging the financial literacy gap. We aim to empower the next generation with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed financial decisions, thereby contributing to a more financially literate and economically stable society.
