Poland: Call for financial education in schools

There is a growing call for the introduction of financial education and responsibility training within the Polish school system. Current educational curricula focus heavily on program goals but often neglect practical life skills such as financial planning, management, and asset responsibility.

Observations from organizations assisting indebted individuals, such as the EUROLEGE Law Firm, suggest that a lack of early financial literacy contributes to the cycle of debt. Many individuals, regardless of education, profession, or social status, make impulsive financial decisions that lead to debt spirals. Experts suggest that teaching responsible financial behavior in schools could help prevent these patterns from being passed down to future generations.
