CEMLA “Financial-economic Educational Experiment” completed successfully

On Friday, 2nd of August 2019, the Central Bank of Suriname successfully completed the Financial-economic Education Experiment, which was performed in collaboration with the Centro de Estudios Monetarios Latinoamericanos (CEMLA).

The students of the St. Elisabeth School II, who also participated on the 18th of July 2019, continued the final part of the experiment together in one group and completed the follow-up survey.

To conclude this experiment, each student received a certificate from the General Secretary of the Bank, Mrs. Faranaaz Hausil.

At the opening of the experiment on the 18th of July, the Central Bank Governor, Mr. Robert van Trikt gave the students a drawing assignment, with the theme “The Central Bank in the Future”. The purpose of this assignment was to give the children the opportunity to capture the future of money and the Central Bank through a drawing. The prize for the best drawing went to Dimple Yzer, followed by Shanyl Mokhansing (2) and Mariela Armalie (3)

At the closing, the students indicated that they experienced the experiment as good and are looking forward that this program will be repeated.
