During the workshop.
In partnership with Akshi Media and technical support from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, a transformative Financial Heroes workshop was conducted in several schools across the Kurunegala district, reaching over 1,200 A-level students. The workshop was designed to teach students about Financial Management, Digital Finance, Entrepreneurship, and budgeting.
Pan Asia Bank understands that A-level students are on the verge of making significant financial decisions, whether planning for higher education, managing personal budgets, or preparing to enter the workforce. The financial literacy skills imparted during the workshop will have a lasting impact, enabling these students to make informed economic choices, manage debt, and develop intelligent savings and investment habits.
The workshop was held at Ibbagamuwa Central College, Ibbagamuwa Model School, Gokarella Central College, and Welagedara Central College. Students participated in interactive sessions to foster a deeper understanding of budgeting, saving, investing, and debt management.
“We believe financial literacy is a cornerstone for personal and community development,” said Naleen Edirisinghe, Director and CEO. “Through this program, we aim to empower the younger generation with the tools to make informed financial decisions, setting the stage for a more financially secure future.”
The Financial Heroes initiative is part of an ongoing effort to create a financially literate society. Future workshops are planned in other regions of Sri Lanka.
