Needs Assessment and Financial Literacy Survey Among Public School Teachers in Metro Manila

Needs Assessment and Financial Literacy Survey Among Public School Teachers in Metro Manila

Project Director:  Melvin A. Jabar
Funding Agency:  Metrobank Foundation /AXA

The study involves two components. In the first component, a needs assessment and financial literacy survey will be conducted to determine the needs and concerns of teachers for whom personal financial management is a concern, and to gauge the level of financial literacy of public school teachers in Metro Manila. The results of the study will be used to produce a module for financial literacy for teachers. In the second component, a module aimed at increasing the financial literacy of teachers will be produced. A pre- and post-test survey will be conducted with teachers to examine the short term impacts of the module. Apart from these two components, a focus group discussion will be conducted prior to crafting the module. The experimental design of the project will be done simultaneously with the survey.

Key words: financial literacy, public elementary and high school teachers, personal financial management
