Driving Financial Literacy in the Classroom
The Securities Industry Dispute Resolution Center (SIDREC), in collaboration with Bursa Malaysia, the Private Pension Administrator (PPA) Malaysia and UOW Malaysia KDU, recently completed the second instalment of a pilot project aimed at increasing the capital market and financial literacy of students through the undergraduate programme’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) course. The objectives of this initiative were achieved through not just classroom lectures and tutorials, but also the creative use of digital media and the incorporation of out-of-the-box marketing and promotional strategies in a competition towards the end of the course.
