Developing strong financial management skills equips students to better plan for their own futures and broaden their professional expertise. It also positions them to potentially become integral pillars of the economic and financial infrastructure that supports societal progress.
EdCity has always been a supporter for well-rounded education, encouraging students to seize the opportunities to put their knowledge in practice through competitions. The recent ‘Hong Kong Financial Literacy Championship 2024’ attracted the participation of nearly 300 secondary schools. Students demonstrated their financial acumen by tackling online quizzes and case analysis exercises, applying their knowledge to realistic scenarios. This not only deepened their understanding of financial concepts, but also honed their analytical and problem-solving abilities.
EdCity demonstrated our support for the competition by having our Executive Director, Mr Ken Ngai, serve as a judge and award presenter. EdCity is hopeful that the winning students will be able to leverage their proven strengths to make valuable contributions towards the continued progress of our society.
The Hong Kong Financial Literacy Championship 2024 is organised by Hong Kong Economic Journal Education, co-organised by the Education Bureau and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, supported by Hong Kong Education City, partnered with St. James’ Settlement and sponsored by Visa.
