New Delhi, June 18(IBNS): National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) has joined hands with Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to give young students of class IX and X, their first formal lessons in the world of finance.

CBSE is introducing Financial Market Management as a vocational course under National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) at Level I & Level II for class IX & X for session 2015-16.

 “Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India is laying great emphasis on skill and competency development. Accordingly, in future all employment will be related to acquiring qualifications as per NSQF. This is going to be a major game changer," said Dr M.V. V. PRASADA RAO, Director, CBSE in a communication to CBSE schools.

The syllabus for the course includes a wide array of topics starting from evolution of money to budgeting. Once completed, NSE and CBSE will issue a joint certificate. Apart from class room lectures, students will get a feeling of web based modules as part of their practical sessions, spread over 60 hrs. Apart from becoming a responsible citizen, the vocational course will also help students to vertically aim at higher level courses related to financial markets. NSE has tie-ups with several universities and institutes for different market related courses.
