As part of a visionary effort to shape a knowledge-driven, empowered generation, Dubai has launched a new phase of its innovative “Young Investor” program. Spearheaded by the Knowledge Fund Establishment in partnership with National Bonds, the initiative is designed to equip students in Dubai’s private schools with essential financial skills through engaging, interactive learning modules.
The expanded rollout aims to reach more than 75,000 students across 50 private schools, building on the resounding success of the pilot phase. The program is aligned with the Dubai Education Strategy 2033 and Dubai Social Agenda 33, and reflects a growing commitment to integrating practical financial education into the academic experience.
The “Young Investor” program teaches students foundational concepts like saving, budgeting, and personal financial planning, starting from an early age. It uses dynamic, student-friendly content tailored to make financial literacy both accessible and enjoyable.
Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, CEO of the Knowledge Fund, emphasized the significance of the program, stating:
“The Young Investor initiative reflects our strategic focus on providing quality education that goes beyond textbooks. By giving students real-life skills—especially in personal finance—we’re investing in the future of Dubai.”
Mohammed Qasim Al Ali, CEO of National Bonds, echoed this sentiment:
“We’re proud to partner with the Knowledge Fund on this unique initiative. Early financial education is essential for creating a stable and prosperous society. In a world full of rapid technological changes, financial awareness is more crucial than ever.”
The expansion of the “Young Investor” program represents a forward-thinking move to ensure the next generation in Dubai is not only academically capable but also financially prepared to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and intelligence.
