StockGro and GIIS Dubai Join Forces to Enhance Financial Literacy Among Youth in the UAE
StockGro Partners with GIIS Dubai to Enhance Youth Financial Literacy
In a pivotal development for financial education in the UAE, StockGro, a premier platform for experiential financial learning in India, has formed a partnership with the Global Indian International School (GIIS) in Dubai. This collaboration aims to equip students in grades 9 through 12 with the crucial skills necessary for navigating the financial world. This initiative represents StockGro's ongoing commitment to expanding its influence in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region following their previous collaborations.
As the designated financial literacy collaborator for GIIS, StockGro has seamlessly integrated its comprehensive curriculum within the school’s academic framework. Students will engage in bi-monthly sessions led by experts, allowing them to delve into various financial concepts, the fundamentals of the stock market, and strategic investment methods. Through this program, students will cultivate essential skills such as critical thinking and real-world application.
One of the standout features of this partnership includes specialized stock market learning programs, which involve model portfolio exercises specifically tailored for grades 9 to 12. These activities are designed to provide students with a practical understanding of portfolio management in a controlled, risk-free environment. By participating in these exercises, learners can apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, thus fostering greater confidence and comprehension in trading and investments.
Ajay Lakhotia, the Founder and CEO of StockGro, expressed, "This collaboration bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical application, preparing students to make informed financial decisions". He added that this program reflects StockGro's commitment to equipping future generations with the necessary tools to navigate real-world financial challenges effectively.
Rajani Manikonda, Supervisor of Senior Secondary School at GIIS Dubai, voiced her support for the partnership, stating, "Empowering students with financial literacy is essential in today's interconnected world. This partnership with StockGro introduces our learners to the intricacies of financial management in an engaging and practical manner, ensuring they develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in the global economy."
This partnership not only reinforces StockGro's reputation in UAE but also sets a solid foundation for future collaborations in the region, aligning with its overarching mission to revolutionize financial education on a global scale.
