Malta placed sixth overall in an international financial literacy competition which was held online on April 20 for teenagers between 13 and 15 years of age from all over Europe.
Keira Privitera from St Clare College Secondary School Pembroke and Jamie Scerri Richard from St Edward’s College, both 15 years of age, represented Malta in the European Money Quiz 2021 Finals.
Malta competed in the quiz for the first time, after the teenagers won a competition in which several schools participated. This national competition was organised locally by the Malta Bankers Association (MBA) in collaboration with the Home Economics Seminar Centre (HESC) within the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes of the Ministry for Education.
The Malta Bankers’ Association (MBA) organised a series of events and activities in conjunction with European Money Week (EMW) and Global Money Week, which this year was held between March 22 and 26.
The EMW 2021 events included also a first ‒ a local competition among eligible students aimed at selecting participants representing Malta for the European Banking Federation (EBF)’s European Money Quiz, which will be held in April.
This was the seventh year that EMW was held in Malta, although last year, almost all events had to be cancelled due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
EMW is characterised by a series of financial education events organised by national banking associations across Europe, under the coordination of the EBF of which the MBA is a member.
For the seventh year running, the Malta Bankers’ Association (MBA) and the European Banking Federation (EBF) are joining a series of activities held across Europe as part of European Money Week (EMW), which is aligned with OECD’s Global Money Week.
The MBA is a member of the EBF. This year the MBA, in collaboration with the Home Economics Seminar Centre of the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes and supported by JAYE Malta Foundation and Ġemma, is holding several initiatives to promote awareness on financial literacy, financial education and financial inclusion during EMW 2021 from March 22 to 26.
Details on these events will be issued by the MBA in due course.
