INTRODUCTION

Financial Education can make a difference not only in the quality of life that individuals can afford but also the integrity and quality of markets.  In U. K. and U. S. A. the financial education starts from Class VI onwards. 

DCM International School has taken a revolutionary step by introducing Professional Competency Education or Occupation Oriented Education in Financial Market at 10+2 level.

There is huge employment potential in Financial Market.  As per industry estimates there is shortage of more than 50,000 professionals in stock and commodity markets.  This shortage is projected as 2 lakhs by 20018-19.

Computerized accounting and finance in organized and unorganized sectors is another area of employment for the youth.

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi announced the Scheme of Vocational Education and Training will be implemented in a mission mode to provide employment to a large number of youth in the county.  India being young nation, around 28 million youth are added every year looking for employment. To fulfill the training needs of the huge target groups, emerging employment opportunities in various sectors of economy need to be explored.

At this juncture, it is more appropriate for developing course on Financial Market Management under professional Competency Education where much emphasis is given for Competency Based Curriculum, Competency Based Training and Competency Based Assessment and Competency Based industry joint certification with NSE. 

It is hoped that the present curriculum would help a large number of youth to acquire employable skills and to enter world of work for their decent livelihoods and for economic growth of the country.

DCM International School is attempting a paradigm shift in school education from pure academics to orientation towards skill development and employ ability while maintaining the scope of vertical mobility for higher education and therefore proposes to introduce Financial Market Management as one of the courses under vocational education for senior secondary classes.
