Knowledge Fund Establishment and National Bonds launch ‘The Young Investor’ programme



Investor’ programme, the Middle East's first financial education initiative designed to inculcate financial literacy among youth.
This initiative aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) and the Dubai Social Agenda 33 that were announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Both agendas seek to establish Dubai as a top education hub by developing the sector to match the city's future goals and enhancing its human capital through providing high-quality education.
The first phase of ‘The Young Investor’ programme will be implemented across three branches of ‘Dubai Schools’, a project launched in 2021 to create an Emirati schooling model that provides a global standard of education rooted in national values. The Knowledge Fund Establishment and National Bonds will collaborate on developing, designing and implementing the programme in ‘Dubai Schools’, ensuring that financial literacy is integrated into their educational curriculum.
The educational programme begins with students in grades five and six, aiming to introduce financial knowledge at a young age. The strategic initiative aligns with national efforts to promote financial literacy and underscores the commitment of the Knowledge Fund Establishment and National Bonds to nurturing financially literate and responsible communities
