Including financial literacy in the core curriculum
is a bold move provided by SB 154 and the Utah State Board of Education to help Utah's youth prepare
for the choices and challenges of today's financial markets. A
better understanding of personal finance will help students move
into adulthood making more informed monetary decisions, realizing
a greater potential for personal wealth, and fostering a stronger
state and national economy.
