Six States Add Personal Finance Graduation Rules, Bringing Total to 17
Six more states added personal finance graduation requirements of at least one semester since Next Gen Personal Finance published its State of Financial Education Report last April. A total of 17 states now have this policy in place or are in the process of implementing for future school years. The requirements guarantee a standalone personal finance course for all high schoolers.
Financial education in high school helps young people build essential life skills and manage their future finances responsibly.
