This new requirement is part of a larger effort to improve financial literacy among young people. The new course, called “Financial Literacy for Michigan Students,” is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their personal finances effectively. It covers a wide range of topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, credit, debt management, and insurance. The course is taught by certified teachers and is available in both online and in-person formats. The implementation of this new requirement has been met with mixed reactions. Some students and parents are excited about the new course, seeing it as a valuable tool for preparing them for the future.

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has released new standards for high school graduation requirements. These new standards are designed to prepare students for the workforce and for life after high school. The MDE is providing guidance to school districts and will be working closely to help schools design curriculum to meet the new requirements.
