National Financial Literacy Programme

The Schools Pillar of the National Financial Literacy Programme; i.e. the FLITE Schools Programme began in 2023 as a pilot across 13 Barbadian public schools and has rapidly expanded its reach to all of the island’s public primary and secondary schools, as well as 3 tertiary institutions and 4 special education schools.

FLITE’s mission is fulfilled through its comprehensive curricula, toolkit and workbooks.

Delivery is undertaken by NFLP’s team of over 30 trained and experienced facilitators, under the leadership of Programme Coordinator, Mr. Corey Worrell.

✨✨✨ Please join us in congratulating Ms. Keisha Reid on her promotion to Permanent Secretary.

PS Reid’s hard work, dedication and passion are unmatched. Her mentorship and guidance in strategic planning have been invaluable components of this programme’s success.

PS, we wish you every success in this chapter. Your new team is blessed to have you. ✨✨✨

Team NFLP joined The CFA Society for their Annual Forecast Event, held at the Hilton Barbados.

The Annual Forecast Event is an exclusive gathering designed to bring together finance professionals as we look ahead to the future of business, finance, and our economy.

This year, the event explored the theme “Finance at the Crossroads: Creativity, Credibility and Capital.”

The focus was on key topics including:

Ethics in A.I., Sustainability Reporting and the Orange Economy.

Financial Futures Forum is an initiative of the Prime Minister’s Office.

NFLP collaborated with the Office of the Special Advisor on Poverty Alleviation to deliver the 3rd cohort of the programme. We also had individuals from the One Family Programme and Welfare Department participating.

Financial Futures Forum is designed to help individuals build the skills, confidence, and mindsets needed to take control of their financial future. The programme combines interactive financial education workshops, one-on-one financial coaching, and holistic support to help participants.
From learning how to budget, save, manage debt, and make informed financial decisions, to setting personal financial goals and exploring opportunities for income generation, participants are equipped with practical tools for lasting change.

Happy Mother’s Day to All the Mums!

💐 Wishing you a day as amazing as you are. 💐
