Jump$tart Coalition function Go(){return} First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing. Many young people fail in the management of their first consumer credit experience, establish bad financial management habits, and stumble through their lives learning by trial and error. The Coalition´s direct objective is to encourage curriculum enrichment to ensure that basic personal financial management skills are attained during the K-12 educational experience. The wheels of education do not need to be reinvented, they simply require balance.   Results of the 2008 Financial Literacy Surveys of High School and College Students were released at a press conference on April 9, 2008, at the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC. The Survey is generously sponsored, once again, by the Merrill Lynch Foundation. The President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy has recommended that the U.S. Department of the Treasury reprise the National Financial Literacy Challenge in Fall of 2008. The Challenge is a voluntary 35-question test that high school students can take to earn recognition for their financial knowledge. The Fall Challenge will run from November 3 - 26, 2008. To learn how students did in the recently completed Spring 2008 Challenge, please click here. Teachers: If you participated in the Spring 2008 Challenge, you will automatically be notified this Fall when teacher registration begins. If you are a high school teacher who did not participate in the Spring 2008 Challenge and would like to be placed on the teacher distribution list, please click here.

Extra CreditSM was created by Wachovia to address the great need for consumer education across the country and to broaden the scope of its financial literacy program which also includes the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) Money Smart curriculum and the bank's own eCommunitiesfirst® curriculum. Designed to teach advanced credit topics such as credit scores, debt management, and credit repair, Extra CreditSM has been widely used by credit counseling agencies and non-profit organizations that provide financial education, especially in low- to moderate-income communities. Extra CreditSM covers important topics such as: what is in a credit score, danger signs of debt, strategies for dealing with debt, and how to establish and maintain good credit. It is an intermediate-level lesson that can also be used as a complement to Money Smart's To Your Credit module as it expands on the basic concepts covered by the FDIC. Extra CreditSM, which is available in both English and Spanish, comes with instructor and participant guides, participant completion certificates, overhead slides, and marketing posters. The curriculum can be conducted via traditional classroom style or through video-assisted delivery. Wachovia created videos to help enhance the facilitation of classes and to aid novice instructors. Wachovia believes that it is never too early to learn about the importance of good credit and that establishing and maintaining good credit is critical to building a solid financial foundation. Wachovia is committed to providing innovative educational tools, such as Extra CreditSM, to help individuals of all ages navigate through a financially complex world and enable them to make educated financial decisions.   REALITY CHECK HAS MOVED!

Improving Education - CLICK HERE TO ORDER Merrill LynchSupport for the survey provided by the Merrill Lynch Foundation. Financial Literacy: Improving Education The positive turnaround in financial literacy scores that was first noted in the 2004 survey, continued-albeit slowly-in 2007. Beginning with an average score of 57.3 percent in 1997, scores fell to 51.9 percent in 2000 and 50.2 percent in 2002 before staging a rebound to 52.3 percent in 2004. In 2007, the mean score increased by a tenth of a percent to 52.4 percent. The increase is certainly not overwhelming but somewhat reassuring given that the gains of two years ago appear to be holding. On a more positive note, the proportion failing this exam (a score below 60 percent), decreased from 65.5 percent in 2004 to 62 percent in 2007. In his preface to the 2007 edition, Senator Michael B. Enzi (R-WY) added: A life of financial success and security begins with a strong education. Every generation of Americans is introduced to the realities of spending, saving and finance at a younger age than the last. Yet for many years, our nation's financial literacy has not kept pace. Many young people today take jobs with salaries far beyond what their parents earned. They also begin to live a lifestyle they believe fits that income, including cars, boats and luxury vacations. Many realize too late that what their parents have is the result of accumulation over years of hard work. The younger generation discovers their income cannot keep up with their spending, and they fall into debt. In the worst cases, these bad financial practices can eventually lead to broken marriages, families and futures.
