Springboard Challenge 2022 sets to cover 8,000 teachers and students nationwide
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Eastspring Investments Berhad (“Eastspring”) has launched a nationwide financial literacy programme, targeted at secondary school children in Malaysia, called the Springboard Challenge (“The Programme”).The Programme aims to elevate the level of financial literacy and investment knowledge within the youth community. Open to secondary school students aged 14 to 17 years old, Springboard Challenge will be presented to students and their teachers-in-charge in a virtual workshop format which incorporates fun learning elements such as interactive games, missions and quizzes. The Programme incorporates the use of a boardgame which challenges the students with real world simulation of financial topics and decisions, and will culminate in a nationwide contest.
The pilot programme in 2018 covered 10 schools in the Klang Valley and about 1,000 secondary school children. This year, with the help of Zoom and a virtual format, Eastspring is targeting to reach 8,000 teachers and school children nationwide.
“We are excited to receive support and approval from the Ministry of Education Malaysia and eight State Education Departments. With the aid of technology, we will also be able to reach more teachers and school children from Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, Penang, Kedah, Melaka, Sabah and Sarawak,” said Mr. Raymond Tang, Chief Executive Officer of Eastspring Malaysia.
