2017-10-11
In order to enhance financial literacy, the FSC is holding an online financial literacy quiz contest, targeted at junior and senior high school students, from 21 August to 13 October 2017, with separate divisions for students at the junior and senior high levels. For more information, see: http://financeknowledge.tabf.org.tw.
The contest starts out with an initial online round, followed up by onsite second-round contests. There are separate divisions for students at the junior and senior high levels, and participants can take part either individually or in teams of three. Individuals and teams that finish the online first round in the top 20 will go on to the second round. Individuals and teams that finish in the top five in round two go on to a championship round, where the top individual contestant will receive a prize of NT$10,000 and the top team receive NT$30,000. In addition, six schools will be chosen that have done the job of promoting participation in the contest well, and receive a prize of total NT$60,000. Also, a special participation prize has been added for students, and a "top team leader" prize has been added for the teacher selected as the best team leader, to encourage participation and give teachers extra incentive.
The FSC has not only launched Money Wise, a financial literacy website (http:// moneywise.fsc.gov.tw) designed to improve general understanding of financial matters, but also established the Financial Literacy Promotion Pages which integrate information about various events and e-learning websites and update promoting results quarterly. Quiz questions are taken from on Money Wise website and the Financial Literacy Promotion Pages, as well as the related courses in junior and senior high school, such as the concepts of probability and compound interest. Questions address everyday financial matters, financial legislation, and personal financial planning, and on a higher plane, they also broach such topics as the contribution of the financial sector to development of the national economy, and protections for the interests of financial consumers. All the questions in the online portion of the contest are true/false or multiple choice, and are designed to help raise the level of financial literacy among students.
In addition, to adjust for the education gap between urban and rural areas, a certain number of contestant spots have been set aside separately for students from different areas to encourage participation by students from remote districts and the offshore islands. Junior and senior high school students interested in taking part can register teams by visiting the quiz website (http://financeknowledge.tabf.org.tw), or by calling the organizer (Taiwan Academy of Banking and Finance) at (02) 3365-3557.
