Even as Grade Six pupils prepare to sit for national exams, plans are afoot to start off a financial literacy course for junior and senior secondary school teachers in February next year.

The programme by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) and financial services company, Old Mutual, aims at instilling the ability to analyse financial resources, entrepreneurial skills that unpack activities that one can do to generate more revenue, and financial skills which cover revenue and expenditure.
