This new requirement is part of a larger effort to improve financial literacy among young people. The new course, called “Personal Finance for Michigan Students,” is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their finances effectively. It covers a wide range of topics, including budgeting, saving, investing, credit, and debt management. 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.

The MDE is working with school districts to help them design curriculum that meets these new standards.
