California will soon require high school students to pass a personal finance class in order to graduate. This comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom reached an agreement with state leaders and NGIF Mission, an affiliate of the curriculum company Next Gen Personal Finance."We need to help Californians prepare for their financial futures as early as possible.
SUGGESTED: "Ensuring our students have the skills and knowledge to thrive is paramount to California’s continued success, and financial literacy is a key part of that educational mission. Our agreement is the culmination of many robust and productive conversations with stakeholders across the state on how best to implement financial literacy into every student’s high school curriculum," said Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas .
