Texas makes financial literacy course a graduation requirement
Original: Texas law requires financial literacy course to graduate: Why experts say it matters
A new Texas law now requires high school students to complete a personal financial literacy course before they can graduate. The mandate covers topics like budgeting, saving, credit and debt. Education and finance experts say it matters because many young adults leave school unprepared for everyday money decisions, and early instruction could help them avoid costly mistakes later in life.
Why now: A new Texas graduation requirement for financial literacy has just taken effect, prompting discussion about how well schools prepare students for real-world money management.
