Key Points

This proposal encourages the government and private companies to work together to teach students about money. It aims to help young people learn how to budget, save for college, and manage credit cards before they face major financial decisions.
The resolution points out that many students are not prepared for the complex world of finance. It notes that only 39 states require a personal finance class for high school graduation and that many young people lack confidence in making money choices.
It supports existing programs that help women and minorities get internships and jobs in the financial sector. It also asks the Treasury Department to continue studying how much Americans know about money so the government can provide better tools and workshops.
