Abstract

The present work aims to present the importance of financial education as a public policy at the EMEF João Alves de Carvalho School in the city of Caiçara-PB. Specifically, it was intended to: a) Characterize the socioeconomic conditions of teachers, students and school administrators; b) present the strategies used in that school for the dissemination of financial education in basic education; and, c) identify the degree of knowledge, indebtedness and behavior of individuals from the EMEF João Alves de Carvalho school. Therefore, a quati qualitative research was carried out using a bibliographical review on the theoretical concepts of financial education, ENEF as a public policy and national initiatives to mobilize finance strategies in Brazil. In the research methodology, we used questionnaires that were applied online, through google forms, thus obtaining responses from 32 students, 8 teachers and 1 manager. The results show that the level of financial education of students is insufficient, teachers and management do not use strategies related to the topic. Showing to be perceptible by the students that the school does not have any initiative or project regarding finance education. In this case, it appears that both students and teachers do not have contact with financial education. Thus, it is suggested that the insertion of educational policies of financial education in the city of Caiçara-PB is extremely important and urgent. It should be noted that such policies are necessary to guarantee quality education, which must be applied directly to the faculty, students and the entire school community in a way that everyone can benefit
