Banking And Finance (Advanced Level)

Banking and Finance are the bloodstream of our lives. As such, its study is highly essential for all, at all ages. Far from reaching close to retirement age without any real idea of how money actually works, money-related education should begin at the school level.

In theory, the education that students get prepares them for working professionally and then earning money. It just makes sense that there should be some small element in that education that’s focused on taking care of that money. The more financially savvy the students are, the better financial decisions they will make throughout their lives no matter what their professions are.

In absence of the same, they are bound to get stuck in all walks of life. This education is critical for their personal development too. Teaching students about money is an important skill and IBEC aptly holds it.
