Financial Education and Educator Development in Metro Manila

Metro Manila’s schools, workplaces and community organizations provide different settings for financial education. NFEC supports the people who teach through professional development, standards, assessments and resources for program delivery. This page connects those established resources with Philippine education and financial-literacy references.

Financial Education Across Schools and Workplaces

Effective programs rely on prepared educators, relevant materials and clear measures of progress. In Metro Manila, the same professional foundations can support education in a classroom, an organization or a community setting. NFEC’s CFEI® credential develops both financial subject knowledge and the methods needed to teach it.
