Financial Literacy Assessments and Program Experience Tools

Financial education should lead to practical improvements in people’s lives. Demonstrating that impact takes more than a knowledge quiz: educators need ways to understand learning, attitudes, actions and longer-term outcomes.

NFEC provides adaptable planning, facilitation, assessment and reporting resources that support this work. Educators in the Philippines can use these tools to monitor progress, strengthen the learner experience and communicate the results of their programs.

Financial Wellness Tests & Assessments

NFEC’s assessment library evaluates more than information recall. Its ten customizable assessments and question bank cover learner knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, support systems and outcomes. Together with reporting tools, they help educators document what changed and communicate program results to stakeholders.
