Welcome to the "Facts & Figures Generation" Educational Portal
Facts & Figures provides a free consumer life skills curriculum to Hong Kong middle and high school teachers, as well as homeschool parents and individuals. The curriculum teaches a new type of financial literacy in English and Cantonese, provided (without strings attached) by Education University of Hong Kong and the FoolProof Foundation.
Lessons That Will Last a Lifetime
Credit card debt among Hong Kong youth is skyrocketing. The staggering amount of time kids spend on digital devices makes them particularly vulnerable to marketers. Our youths are easily lured into (financial) trouble.
Facts & Figures curriculum provides a powerful antidote. It empowers students—at a critical time in their development—by teaching healthy skepticism.
Beyond Traditional Financial Literacy
The Facts & Figures curriculum goes beyond traditional financial literacy.
Students who use the curriculum will be better equipped to avoid scams, resist impulse buying and easy debt, and recognize manipulative marketing techniques.
Still in its test phase, the curriculum consists of 5 interactive educational modules. It’s online, video-driven and self-grading financial literacy instruction. And young people do all the teaching.
