Financial education for investors is a key area of focus for the NSE, since NSE believes that informed investors are the backbone of a healthy market. Keeping this objective in mind, the NSE has been conducting a number of investor awareness seminars over the years in different parts of the country to educate investors. But there is a widely felt need today to raise the financial literacy standards among a larger section of our country.
Our young people need to learn the importance of responsible decision making and develop good habits in financial matters from an early age. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been fulfilling the educational needs of young people for over 75 years now. It has an extensive reach and jurisdiction over schools in India and abroad. CBSE and NSE have joined hands to extend financial education to schools.
To fulfill the need for taking financial literacy to the schools, CBSE and NSE have introduced a joint certification in Financial Markets Management for std. XI and XII. An MOU in this regard was signed by the two institutions in Delhi on the 19th March, 2008. This is perhaps the first such exercise to introduce financial literacy in schools in a structured manner and would provide an early exposure to young adults to the world of finance. The course, titled “Financial Markets Management” has been introduced by CBSE as a vocational stream from the academic year 2007 – 2008.
The new course includes two subjects in financial markets, “Introduction to Financial Markets – I” and “Introduction to Financial Markets – II”, besides courses in Languages, Economics, Business Studies, Accounting for Business etc. Students would be required to take the NSE’s on-line certifications, i.e. the NCFM tests in “Financial Markets : A Beginners Module” in Std. XI and “Capital Markets (Dealers) Module and Derivatives Markets (Dealers) Module”, in Std. XII. 58 schools were selected to offer this course in 2007-08 and over 120 more schools are expected to offer the course from academic year 2008-09. Over 1350 students are currently enrolled for this course.
