Kamaliki Technical Vocational Training Institute partners with PFIP

Work has begun on embedding financial education concepts into the vocational curriculum of a technical institute in Eastern Highlands Province.

The Kamaliki Technical Vocational Training Institute formalised a partnership last Thursday with the United Nations Capital Development Fund through its pacific-based programme the Pacific Financial Inclusion Programme (PFIP). 

The partnership will see the development of Financial Education (FinEd) curriculum for young adults in Goroka.

Through the FinEd Project, it is expected that from the 2018 school year, financial education will be firmly embedded within the institution’s curriculum, ensuring that approximately 1,000 students will gain exposure to personal money management and investment in existing trade courses on an annual basis. 

Financial education is essentially learning towards the development of personal financial competency.
