Financial Education became part of 6th-grade primary education in the 2025–2026 school year, beginning with a wonderful storybook!
Used as part of Health Education classes, the storybook "70 Τοκό και Μια Τρύπα στο Παπούτσι", together with its accompanying educational activities, is a valuable resource for teaching financial education to 6th-grade students.
The storybook introduces children to key concepts of personal finance, including:
- income 💵
- expenses 🛒
- budgeting 📊
- saving for the future 💎
- saving for emergencies (the so-called “financial safety cushion” 🛟)
- borrowing and loan repayment 💳
At the same time, children learn the difference between needs and wants, gain an understanding of social and economic inequalities, and become more aware of the growing problem of online scams.
Developing skills from an early age related to prudent money management, a culture of saving, and a culture of loan repayment helps lay the foundations for financially responsible individuals and households in the future.
Download the storybook and read it with your children!
