Financial literacy speech contest gets underway

THE Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has launched the 2022 edition of the Financial Literacy Speech Competition, which promotes financial literacy among school learners.

The competition requires learners to research a selected topic and present a five-minute speech. Topics range from financial planning to consumer protection and entrepreneurship.

The competition is hosted by the FSCA in partnership with the Financial Services Consumer Education Foundation. It targets Grade 11 learners from quintile one, two and three (non-feepaying) schools majoring in business studies, economics and accounting.

Learners compete at classroom level at their schools, then progress to the district and provincial rounds until provincial winners get to represent their provinces at the national finals in Cape Town on October 14.
