Description
The paper discusses the value of financial literacy and emphasises the importance of financial education inclusion into Kosovo's publicschool curriculum. The paper initially elaborates on the importance of financial literacy and then expands on its impact on people’s knowledge to become or maintain their financial stability and well-being. It is pointed out that understanding personal finance management can help people have a better connection with money and their finances. Research suggests that young people getting ready for adulthood should be encouraged to become financially literate to meet society's health and economic concerns. In this context, after observing the school curriculum one can clearly state that a financial topic is absent and recommendations for its incorporation to support students' acquisition of knowledge and abilities in money management. The paper highlights that the inclusion of financial education in schools will assist students in becoming more financially responsible adults, by enabling them to contribute to social development and have a significant effect on economic sustainability. The findings indicate that including financial education in the school curriculum enables students to understand the importance of the financial world, which will ultimately lead to a more economically sustainable and financially literate society.

The paper discusses the value of financial literacy and emphasises the importance of financial education inclusion into Kosovo's publicschool curriculum.

It is pointed out that understanding personal finance management can help people have a better connection with money and their finances. Research suggests that young people getting ready for adulthood should be encouraged to become financially literate to meet society's health and economic concerns. In this context, after observing the school curriculum one can clearly state that a financial topic is absent and recommendations for its incorporation to support students' acquisition of knowledge and abilities in money management.
