The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has tied up with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for imparting training from Saturday in financial market management to teachers who would then pass on the knowledge to students of classes 9 and 10.
The bourse said it will train teachers from around 15,000 schools across India for the course. These teachers, after undergoing the course module will educate the students.
The first batch of teacher's training will start on Saturday.
"The course will help to spread financial literacy which will create stronger roots and will ultimately transform India into a strong economic super power," the bourse' managing director and CEO Chitra Ramkrishna said in a statement.
CBSE is introducing Financial Market Management as a vocational course under National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) at Level I & Level II for class 9 and 10 students for session 2015-16.
