Financial Education Champion
Hong Kong has witnessed an increasing and diverse range of financial education (FE) initiatives. In order to harness enthusiasm and efforts of organisations seeking to improve the financial literacy of Hong Kong people, the Investor and Financial Education Council (IFEC) introduced the "Financial Education Champion" (FEC) award scheme in 2018, it aims to:
- recognise organisations that have advanced FE in Hong Kong;
- recognise organisations that have provided quality FE;
- encourage organisations to further their FE efforts in Hong Kong; and
- attract more organisations to provide FE in Hong Kong.
Financial Education Champion-Quality Award (FEC-Q)
In order to further recognise organisations that have raised the quality of FE in Hong Kong, an additional award, FEC-Q, was introduced. Awardees have provided evidence that evaluation had been conducted to assess the effectiveness of the FE initiative, and have the commitment to conduct on-going monitoring of effectiveness.
Financial Education Champion- Insurance Award (FEC-I)
In collaboration with the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers (HKFI), the finalists of the Outstanding Financial Education Award of the Hong Kong Insurance Awards (HKIA) will receive the FEC-I awarded by the IFEC. More details will be announced by HKFI around mid of every year.
