Investing is popular in Estonia, but fraud is widespread. For example, 7th-grade student Laura lost money by investing in the wrong place. She says: "I lost all the money, but got it back with the help of the right website."
Classmate Rudolf wants more financial literacy education at school. He says: "Primary school could have a financial literacy subject. We've attended lectures, but there could always be more."
Many high schools offer financial literacy as an elective. It is needed in primary school as well. Class teacher Mare Lillemäe says: "From 7th grade, there could be a 35-hour course where money matters are learned."
Financial literacy center trainings in Tallinn are full. Mari-Liis Jääger explains: "Students play budget games and investment games. They learn how money works."
It is important to teach young people realistic goals. Jääger says: "Becoming rich takes time. One investment won't make you rich immediately."
