金融教育で連携　人材活用、貧困対策も―日証協・全銀協

　日本証券業協会と全国銀行協会は２７日、金融教育や子どもと若者の貧困対策の拡充に向けて連携すると発表した。学習指導要領の改定で、資産形成を学ぶ授業が来年度から高校で始まることなどを受け、専門知識を持つ人材を全国の学校や企業に派遣、協力して知識普及に努める。
　両協会会長が合意の覚書を締結し、東京都内で記者会見した。両協会がこうした覚書を結ぶのは初めて。（2021/12/27-18:24）

The Japan Securities Dealers Association and the Japanese Bankers Association, or Zenginkyo, said Monday that they will cooperate on financial education and stepped-up measures to fight child and youth poverty.
   As Japan will introduce classes on asset formation at high school from the next fiscal year under its revised school curriculum guidelines, the two associations will work together to educate people by sending experts to schools and companies throughout the country.
   The heads of the associations signed a memorandum of understanding and held a press conference in Tokyo. It is the first time for the two groups to sign such an agreement.
   JSDA Chairman Toshio Morita said that only a proportion of the population have been educated on asset building.
   Noting that more people were becoming involved in investing thanks to the spread of tax exemption arrangements such as the Nippon Individual Savings Account, Morita said, "By working together to expand financial education, we will be able to turn the current signs of change into a major movement."
