Financial literacy is the knowledge and skill to manage money well: budgeting, saving, borrowing, using credit, investing and avoiding scams. A growing number of states now require a personal finance course to graduate from high school, and schools are working out how to teach it well and who should teach it.

It explains why financial literacy matters, how to bring it into the curriculum from the early grades on, how colleges are adding financial literacy programs, ways to make it engaging through games, and how AI is changing money education and the tools students use.
