About 81 percent of interviewees said that financial knowledge education was "very valuable" as levels of financial literacy needed to be improved in China.
Junior Achievement China and Hang Seng Bank (China) Limited have jointly started a program in the southern province of Guangdong since 2016 to help teenagers improve financial literacy by financial planning classes, workshops and apprentice activities.
The program covers 2,000 students in seven high schools, mainly from Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
As part of the program, the first JA Guangdong Financial Literacy Challenge was held in December 2016, and the second Challenge was hosted on Dec. 16, 2017, with students competing with each other on financial planning and household asset allocation.
The students in Guangdong were not pioneers in such competitions. In July 2017, a group of youngsters from Shanghai ranked the highest in a global financial literacy assessment test held by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Headquartered in Paris, the OECD tested students on their financial knowledge for the first time as part of their Program for International Student Assessment, conducted once every three years.
Students from Shanghai scored on average 603 on the financial literacy test, beating the global average of 500, while American teens scored 492 and ranked ninth, according to a China Daily report.
A total of 29,000 teenagers from 18 countries joined the test. The financial assessment portion was a 60-minute test that was held in 2017 with results released in 2017.
