Fin mkt mgmt gains traction, many CBSE schools offer course
Ludhiana: In a shift in school education trends, financial market management (FMM) is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought after subjects in CBSE-affiliated schools across the city. Once limited to higher education and professional programmes, the subject is being embraced by students and schools. Such is the demand that 20 schools in the city have introduced it. Some have introduced it as a subject from Class XI onwards, while others have started offering introduction to financial markets as an optional subject in Classes IX and X. Educators say this development reflects a growing awareness among students and parents about the importance of financial literacy and also the career paths this field opens. Harmeet Kaur Waraich, principal of Nankana Sahib Public School and district CBSE coordinator, said, "In our school alone, about 45 students have opted for FMM in Class XI this year. The subject isn't limited to commerce students anymore — even those from science backgrounds are interested in it. It's a crucial subject. Students learn the importance of money, savings, and financial planning at an early age." Monisha Biswas, supervisor at DAV Public School, BRS Nagar, too said, "The subject is getting very popular.

Financial literacy is no longer optional in today's world." Bhupinder Singh, HoD (skill education) at BCM School where the subject was first introduced in the city, said, "We have gone a step further by introducing specialised streams based on FMM. These include commerce with financial skills (CFS) and commerce with science and technology (CST) enrolling 42 students in each. These streams combine FMM with emerging fields like AI and algo trading, which are based on software and the growing demand. We're offering students a broader perspective on how finance and technology intersect in today's economy." FMM is offered as part of the CBSE skill education framework and is backed by structured modules developed in collaboration with institutions like NSE as students also get a certificate from the exchange as well.
