Group Launching New Financial Literacy Standards

Time (3/12, Kadlec) reports that the Council for Economic Education is rolling out "a new set of standards for financial literacy" for US schools in the hope that "schools will embrace these guideposts and begin to wedge money lessons into students' daily activities." The group's new standards "are broken into six personal finance categories:" "earning income," "buying goods and services," "saving," "using credit," "investing" and "protecting and insuring."
