SPECIFICS OF EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL LITERACY OF SCHOOLCHILDREN THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

This article explores one of the key initiatives aimed at preventing natural disasters that have emerged in recent years due to global climate change — the implementation of educational activities based on the achievements of environmentally safe “Green Technology.” The establishment of small-scale farming facilities on school-based educational and practical platforms (flower beds, greenhouses, organic waste processing, Microgreen and vermicomposting technologies, planting seedlings, production of biohumus) serves as a foundation for developing financial literacy among the younger generation from an early age.

The main objective of the research is to identify the specific features of educational work in general education institutions, aimed at engaging children in mastering the art of financial literacy in the context of global digital transformation and artificial intelligence, based on pre-planned programs and advanced developments in the educational system. This is viewed as a pathway toward the rational use of natural and land resources, starting from the school level.

As part of the implementation of both state and author-developed programs for organizing educational work in the country, modern schoolchildren are actively applying their knowledge in natural sciences and other subjects in the context of educational and extracurricular activities, in the work of children's and youth public organizations, student self-governance and leadership groups, inclusive education resources, and in collaboration with parent associations, entrepreneurial communities, financial and investment institutions, as well as educational and practical platforms associated with schools. Creating opportunities for additional education in the area of financial literacy becomes a vital aspect of this topic.

Thus, systematic planning of educational activities involving students in the protection and preservation of the environment becomes a pedagogical solution for achieving the goal of enhancing their financial literacy.
