The materials, which include over 300 lesson exemplars and 10 financial education videos, are available on the DepEd Learning Portal. Designed in alignment with the K-12 curriculum, they aim to equip teachers with accessible tools to make financial concepts like saving, budgeting, and financial planning more engaging and actionable for students.
This initiative supports the BSP’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion and complements DepEd’s efforts to make financial education a core life skill for Filipino learners.
“Teachers are our strongest allies in building a financially responsible generation. We created these tools to make it easier for them to teach money skills in the classroom without the need to develop materials from scratch,” said BDO Foundation president Mario A. Deriquito.
The learning materials also touch on critical topics such as avoiding financial scams—empowering students with the knowledge to navigate real-world financial situations responsibly.
BDO Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank Inc., has played a key role in producing these educational resources. Established in 2008, the foundation supports financial inclusion, disaster response, healthcare access, and education through various community-driven programs.
The collaboration underscores a shared commitment to building financial resilience from a young age—one classroom at a time. —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
