Abstract:
Accepting financial literacy, as one of the key competencies of the modern human, leads us to questions about the efficiency of financial education. The present paper seeks to determine the influence of economic education on university students and movements in their skills in financial education. It is based on a statistical analysis of the results before and after absolving the course. The research is concerned also in the changes in the attitudes of the course participants to the perception of the importance and self-appreciation of their own financial decision abilities. Particularly, recognizing the importance of being financially literate is determined as the fundamental factor for improving proficiency.
Keywords:
Financial literacy, financial education, skills.
