Financial Literacy Initiative at Saint Dominic School

In Thailand, financial literacy is becoming increasingly essential for young people as they navigate a complex and evolving economic landscape. With rapid technological advancements, digital payments, and emerging financial services, today’s youth are making financial decisions earlier than ever. However, many students lack a strong foundation in personal finance, which can lead to challenges in budgeting, saving, and managing debt.

Recognizing the importance of financial education during high school, students from Stamford International University’s FIN311 Personal Finance course, in collaboration with the BBA International program at King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, led an interactive financial literacy session at Saint Dominic School on February 5, 2025. Sponsored by Vantage Markets, the session focused on essential financial topics such as budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and making informed spending decisions.

The session also featured a special talk from a Saint Dominic School alumni, who graduated from Stamford International University and is currently working in the finance industry. This provided the students with real-world insights into the importance of financial literacy and how it applies in the professional world.

In addition, students from Saint Dominic School who participated were awarded prizes for their engagement and knowledge, motivating them to continue their financial education.
