- Standards & Assessment: NFEC establishes professional standards for financial educators and offers resources to evaluate teaching practices, financial behaviours, and learner outcomes.
- Advocacy: We're promoting financial education as a core academic subject so every student has the opportunity to graduate capable of earning and managing money.
- Local Partnerships: We're connecting educators, financial institutions, schools, employers, charities and community leaders to support sustainable financial education programmes.
