The Hong Kong Jockey Club Financial Education Programme (HKJCFEP) is a holistic and integrated approach to support school-based financial education implementation in upper primary schools. HKJCFEP includes a comprehensive set of curriculum and learning materials, teacher professional training, experiential co-curricular learning activities for students, parent education, and public awareness building activities to promote financial education for students.

  1. Attitudes, Motivations, Behaviors
  2. Money and Banking
  3. Income and Jobs
  4. Saving and Investing
  5. Spending and Credit
  6. Consumer Rights and Responsibilities
  7. Financial Planning
  8. Protection and Risks

Co-curricular school-wide 
engagement activities

Students engage in activities outside of the classroom to celebrate and showcase learning, including intra-school market day and inter-school competitions

Teacher Professional Development

Teacher training is offered to equip teachers with (i) financial knowledge and skills, and (ii) necessary skills to deliver project-based and experiential teaching, and support integration of financial education in cross-disciplinary subjects.

A “community of practice” is formed to provide professional support to teachers through a series of professional activities, such as peer observation, co-development and sharing of useful learning materials and teaching tools.

Parent Education and Public Awareness Building

Workshops, talks and learning resources are offered to raise awareness of the rising importance of financial education, and especially engage and support parents to model good financial habits.
