Seylan Tikiri, the children’s savings brand, recently joined hands with St. Thomas Girls’ Primary School, Matale, in an effort to instil a sense of financial literacy among the young student body, by organising a Seylan Tikiri Pola that came alive at the school premises. This event brought the essence of a traditional Sri Lankan market place right into the heart of the school.
Seylan Tikiri Pola was a collaborative effort that aimed to provide students with an immersive, hands-on experience to understand the complexities of finances, savings, markets, customers, goods and services in a practical manner. The initiative received an enthusiastic response from students, parents and teachers, all of whom were eager to impart valuable financial knowledge to the younger generation.
In a world dominated by digital distractions and a focus on academic success, Seylan Tikiri Pola was a welcome change for all the students who participated. The event underscored the importance of offering practical financial education to children and planted the critical concepts of money management and savings from an early age.
One of the standout takeaways of the Seylan Tikiri Pola was its ability to engage the school community. Students, parents and teachers alike took an active role in the event, highlighting their commitment to nurturing financial literacy among children.
