Bank Maju visited Ekayana Dharma Budhi Bhakti School for the second time this year, on 26 January 2026 to promote financial literacy among senior high school students. The visit aimed to introduce students to the importance of managing money wisely and making informed financial decisions in their daily lives.
During the session, students explored the concept of responsible financial behaviour, particularly in managing their pocket money. They were encouraged to distinguish between needs and wants when deciding how to spend their allowance. Through these discussions, students learned the importance of planning their spending, setting aside savings, and allocating money according to their priorities.
The session also highlighted the importance of making informed financial decisions. Students were introduced to practical ways of comparing prices and product quality before making purchases. For example, when buying school supplies, they learned to consider different options to identify products that best suited their needs and budgets. The discussion also referred to findings from the OECD’s PISA 2022 report, which emphasised the importance of financial literacy in everyday financial decision-making.
Through this educational visit, students gained valuable insights into developing responsible money-management habits. The activities encouraged them to become more aware of their spending patterns, understand the importance of saving, and carefully evaluate their options before making financial decisions. Following the visit, the school decided to continue promoting financial literacy by displaying related information and educational materials in the school’s pojok literasi (literacy corner).
