Podgorica, (MINA-BUSINESS) – It was concluded at a meeting of the National Committee for the Development of Financial Education that continued interinstitutional cooperation, the development of modern educational tools, and support for innovative projects are key prerequisites for improving financial literacy in Montenegro.

The progress achieved so far within the “Robotics for the Youngest” project, jointly implemented by the CBCG, the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, and the Innovation Fund of Montenegro., was discussed at the Committee meeting, chaired by the Central Bank (CBCG) Governor, Irena Radovic. 

The Committee concluded the project is very successful, particularly in light of its innovative approach to combining robotics, creative learning and financial literacy for children of early primary school age.

“It was noted that the project has demonstrated significant potential to contribute to the development of basic financial knowledge and skills among children through practical work, play and teamwork, and to strengthen their digital and logical competencies,” says a press release issued after the meeting. 

The Committee supported the continuation of the “Robotics for the Youngest” project, stressing the particular importance of ensuring its sustainability so that its positive effects may be long-lasting and accessible to as many pupils and schools in Montenegro as possible. 

The meeting also addressed activities aimed at preparing a central web platform for financial education, which will serve as a single hub for educational content, practical guides, tools and other resources intended for citizens, the education system and other target groups.
