Improving Financial Literacy Skills for Young People: Scaling the Financial Education Program in Jordan. Summary Findings
Curtiss Wyss, Molly
Center for Universal Education at The Brookings Institution
The Center for Universal Education (CUE) at Brookings has been investigating efforts to scale and sustain evidence-based initiatives leading to large-scale improvements in children's learning. CUE has been implementing a series of collaborative action research initiatives called Real-time Scaling Labs (RTSL), in partnership with local institutions in several countries. The goal of these RTSLs is to generate evidence and provide practical recommendations around the process of scaling in global education--encouraging a stronger link between research and practice. These summary findings and the accompanying full report (ED626286) focus on one of the scaling labs in Jordan -- launched in 2019 in collaboration with the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ), the Ministry of Education, and Jordanian nonprofit organization INJAZ. The lab focused on this partnership-led process of implementing, adapting, and scaling the National Financial Education Program (FEP) in grades 7-12 across the country. While the lab has focused on the experience of FEP to date, it serves as a case study into larger questions of how an evidence-based initiative can achieve progress toward national sustainable scale, with lessons that are transferable beyond FEP and Jordan. [This summary was written with Jenny Perlman Robinson, Maya Elliott, and Omar Qargha.]
