Cristina works at Aflatoun International. Aflatoun’s research shows that people assume that by the end of school we have acquired certain financial skills. But most educational systems and school programs do not build the knowledge and skills needed for financial decisions that positively impact ourselves and our communities. Cristina believes that social and financial skills are best taught as transversal skills contributing to the holistic education learners need to thrive.
