How Experiential Financial Learning can Transform UAE's Educational Landscape

In the UAE, financial literacy remains a challenge, with many lacking the practical knowledge to manage finances effectively. Traditional educational methods often fall short, focusing more on theory than practical skills. This gap in financial education raises a critical question: how can we equip the citizens to confidently handle their financial affairs? Experiential learning could be the solution, as it has shown in India, offering hands-on experiences that transform passive learning into active engagement. StockGro, India’s leading financial EdTech platform, exemplifies this approach.
