More than 500 high school students from the Tungurahua province attended a financial education seminar organized by the Ministry of Education, Sport and Culture, Zone 3, in partnership with the Quito Stock Exchange. The event, titled “Financial Education in the Capital Market,” brought together students from districts including Cevallos to Tisaleo and Ambato.
The seminar covered topics such as the importance of financial literacy, how capital markets operate, and responsible investment options. An expert from the Quito Stock Exchange led the training session, offering practical tools aimed at helping students make informed economic decisions.
Olger Mariño, Zone 3 coordinator, stated: “Financial education is a key tool for the personal and professional development of our young people. These spaces allow them to acquire knowledge that will positively impact their life projects.”
Sebastián Lalaleo, a student from Unidad Educativa Rumiñahui, emphasized: “These meetings help us better understand concepts like saving, credit and investment, and how to apply them responsibly in our daily lives.”
The National Government says it remains committed to comprehensive student training through the Ministry of Education, Sport and Culture by promoting financial skills that support building an informed citizenry prepared for current economic challenges.
