The launch of Money Adventures for Young Savers, a pioneering initiative by Oman Arab Bank in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, marks a significant milestone in the country’s efforts to foster financial literacy among its youth.
The Programme’s Objectives and Approach
The programme aims to equip students with essential financial literacy skills, aligning with the Ministry’s ‘Khazna’ initiative. Money Adventures for Young Savers employs a forward-thinking educational model that combines interactive learning with real-life experiences, making financial education accessible and enjoyable for students.
- Students will explore key financial concepts such as earning, saving, smart spending, and charitable giving through age-appropriate activities and engaging, hands-on learning stations.
- The programme will reach 3,000 students across 50 schools in Oman, with 60 students participating from each school.
- Organisers will divide students into two groups to maximise engagement and learning outcomes.
The programme’s interactive stations will offer rich educational content and experiential learning opportunities, allowing students to develop practical skills and apply theoretical knowledge in a fun and interactive way.
The Programme’s Development and Partnerships
The initiative reflects a strong national partnership between Oman Arab Bank and the Ministry of Education. Skilled Omani youth from both organisations developed the programme’s educational content, training materials, and interactive tools.
“In today’s rapidly evolving economic landscape, it’s vital to equip young people with the financial knowledge to make informed, responsible decisions. Through Money Adventures for Young Savers, we aim to nurture a new generation that values saving, investing, and prudent financial management.” – Mr. Sulaiman Al Harthi, CEO of Oman Arab Bank
This collaboration highlights a shared commitment to nurturing local talent and investing in educational initiatives that build a solid financial knowledge foundation among students.
The Programme’s Expansion and Impact
The programme will expand to include more schools across the Sultanate, reaffirming Oman Arab Bank’s and the Ministry’s commitment to providing inclusive, high-quality financial education.
The goal is to empower all students with the financial skills they need to navigate life confidently and responsibly.
Oman Arab Bank views financial literacy as a cornerstone of sustainable development, and this initiative reinforces the Bank’s role as a proactive contributor to national goals.
By helping youth make informed financial choices, the programme supports economic and social progress by positively shaping their futures and communities.
The programme’s nationwide campaign will equip students with essential financial literacy skills, in line with the Ministry’s ‘Khazna’ initiative.
