TEACHING MONEY MATTERS: ADAPTING GLOBAL FINANCIAL LITERACY PRACTICES FOR UZBEKISTAN’S SCHOOLS
Abstract
This article explores the integration of global financial literacy practices into Uzbekistan’s school system, emphasizing the need to enhance economic competence among youth. Drawing insights from OECD frameworks and studies like PISA, it highlights successful strategies from countries such as Belgium and Latvia, where curriculum integration and interactive methods improved student outcomes. Key approaches include incorporating financial education as a cross-curricular subject and employing digital tools for practical learning. The study identifies challenges in adapting these strategies to Uzbekistan’s unique socio-economic context and proposes a tailored framework to foster financial literacy, empowering students for informed decision-making and economic participation.
