Financial literacy gets a boost

Two cabinet secretaries will be involved in financial literacy program.   From the story:

Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner put the focus on financial literacy recently when they teamed up to announce the National Financial Capability Challenge, a joint initiative of their two departments.

The program, scheduled to take place this spring, is a voluntary initiative designed to boost the financial acumen of high school students nationwide. Students that participate will take an online exam about age-appropriate financial concepts.
