Financial literacy for teachers: a necessity or additional knowledge

one of the main difficulties faced by society is the lack of financial literacy. In the modern world, new financial products and services are emerging that require a certain level of financial literacy. People need to be financially literate in order to carry out various financial transactions, and it is also necessary that citizens' finances do not suffer at the hands of fraudsters. An important task of modern school education is to educate a person with a developed economic mindset, ready to solve important financial issues. The requirements of modern society are as follows: financial knowledge, skills and abilities. Financial literacy for teachers is considered as an important aspect of professional training, contributing not only to the personal, but also to the professional development of teachers. The question of its necessity goes beyond the simple acquisition of additional knowledge and concerns a more global understanding of the role of education in the modern world. The educational process today cannot ignore the economic component of society. A teacher, as a key figure in the formation of the younger generation, should have not only deep knowledge in their subject areas, but also an understanding of economic processes. This knowledge allows them not only to manage their own finances, but also to explain complex economic phenomena in an accessible form, which is especially important in conditions of economic uncertainty and change. The purpose of this study is to consider the concept of financial literacy for teachers as a necessity and as additional knowledge.
