Nassau, The Bahamas – At the invitation of the Organization for Responsible Governance (ORG Bahamas), Gabriella Fraser, Founding Principal and Managing Director of The Vivian Group Ltd, presented on Financial Literacy to a group of 10th, 11th, and 12th graders of the Leadership Academy.
The initiative was part of ORG Bahamas’ “Be Clear Bahamas Program”. According to ORG Bahamas, “the Be Clear Bahamas Program is designed to empower students in various aspects crucial for informed decisions”. Be Clear Bahamas is a three-month initiative.
Over that period, students learn about governance, public trust, media literacy, financial literacy, and critical thinking. ORG Bahamas describes these subject areas as forming “the cornerstone of the program”.
Ms. Fraser’s presentation was built around awareness, knowledge, skills, attitude, and behaviour. Components she shared as essential to sound financial decision making.
