National Economic Education Month is observed every October and aims to promote understanding of how money, markets, and decision-making influence everyday life. Founded by the Georgia Council on Economic Education, the initiative encourages schools to incorporate economic concepts into their curricula. Activities during this month include inviting local entrepreneurs or bankers to share their experiences, engaging in trading games or market simulations, and utilizing online tools and media to explain economic principles. Families are encouraged to discuss their spending and saving choices, fostering a shared understanding of economic decision-making. The observance has grown nationally, supported by educators and economic organizations, to help individuals of all ages develop the skills necessary for informed financial choices.
