National Education Exhibition

Gong ceremony to mark opening National Education Exhibition 2017

The Money Wise Platform attends the National Education Exhibition (NOT) from 24 to January 28. The NOT is the largest trade fair for education professionals in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. To show the connection between the financial world and the world of education, class 2B of the secondary school CSG Willem de Zwijger from Schoonhoven opens trading at Euronext Amsterdam by sounding the gong.

After the ceremony a delegation will rush off to the NOT in Utrecht. They will meet with Her Majesty Queen Máxima and Minister Bussemaker.

The main focus of the Money Wise platform is to promote responsible financial behavior. The platform aims at a permanent place for education of financial skills in the school curriculum. Pupils in secondary schools also ask for extra lessons in learning to deal with money. There is currently a lot of attention to the debt problems among young people in the Netherlands. Schools in secondary education and national and local governments and institutions are working actively for an integrated approach to the implementation of financial education in secondary education.
