Caribbean Financial Literacy
A financial life simulator for secondary students, with the numbers of Trinidad and Tobago.
Who this page is for: Secondary school teachers, school administrators, and corporate or bank CSR managers
The problem in Trinidad and Tobago
Financial education in Caribbean schools is academic where it needs to be experiential. Students learn definitions; they do not get to feel what a month of choices does to a bank balance, or what one unexpected expense does to a plan.
The simulator gives a student eighteen years of age, TT$500 and twenty-four months. Every month they decide what to do with their money, and at the end they see what those choices bought. The point is not getting rich. It is keeping enough of what you earn that one shock does not force you into an expensive hire-purchase agreement.
What Caribbean Financial Literacy does
A financial life simulator for Caribbean secondary students aged 13–17, wrapped in a teacher and school platform.
What it can do
Students get a seat, not an account
A class code and a display name chosen from a list. No student profiles, no cross-class ranking, no personal data leaving the building.
The numbers are local
Salaries, prices and credit terms are Trinidad and Tobago’s, not an imported curriculum’s.
Teacher accounts and classes
Classes, class codes and a student join flow that needs no student account.
Results dashboard
Teachers see how a class made its decisions and where it struggled.
Sponsor reporting
Sponsors see what their funding reached.
Free to play
Sponsor-funded, so no student or school pays.
How the Foundation helps
The Foundation funds school deployments and teacher onboarding so a school does not need a budget line to run it.
What sponsored access covers
The unit here is a class, not a person. Teachers can request a class deployment with onboarding and materials; schools can request a whole-school programme; sponsors can fund a school, a district or a cohort through corporate partnership.
Who can apply
Any secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago can request a deployment. Places depend on sponsor funding in the cycle.
- Places this cycle
- To be confirmed by the Board: places per cycle
- What it costs you
- Nothing. Sponsored access is free to the person or class who receives it.
- A decision usually takes up to 21 days.
Places are limited. Applying does not guarantee a place.
