Florida may require high school students take financial literacy course in order to graduate

Legislation in Florida would require high school students to take a financial literacy test in order to graduate. 

“It is critical we set Florida students up for financial success and this legislation will ensure vital financial literacy resources are available to students before graduation. Financial literacy is an important key to a strong financial future and learning the basics of credit, budgeting, savings, and investing, can further prepare students for a successful future,” Jimmy Patronis, Florida Chief Financial Officer, said in a statement, according to WFLA.

“We are following the proposal and will make a determination on its merits if and when the final version is sent to the Governor,” Gov. Ron DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
