The Hong Kong Jockey Club Financial Education Programme

The Project is created and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, and co-created by The Education University of Hong Kong, The University of Chicago, Hong Kong Family Welfare Society, CoCoon Foundation and Soloman Learning Group. The primary objective of the project is to equip young students with essential financial capabilities, enabling them to achieve long-term financial well-being and personal fulfilment. By instilling financial knowledge, developing the right mindset and motivation, and honing financial decision-making competences, the project cultivates a critical life skill that directly impacts the students' lifelong financial capability. The curriculum design is based on the financial capability framework of the University of Chicago and the Hong Kong financial capability framework developed by the Education University of Hong Kong. Three types of financial education curriculum models will be developed for upper primary students (P4 to P6), including a three-year full version program and a one-year condensed version program. The curriculum will include a comprehensive set of teaching materials, teacher training, and relevant supporting resources. Additionally, it will incorporate experiential learning activities for students, teacher training, and parent learning activities to promote financial education in schools holistically.
