FINCO Reads aims to increase English proficiency amongst primary school students.
- To date over 6,000 primary school students have participated in FINCO Reads Activity Fairs, supported by financial industry volunteers.
FINCO Reads has been developed to make reading in English more engaging for primary school students. This is done by providing teachers with training and best practice toolkits for the classroom, as well as supporting out-of-classroom activities that encourage students to read more. FINCO provides training, resources and funding whilst financial institutions provide volunteers for English activity fairs which run in all FINCO schools.
FINCO Mentor aims to equip secondary school students with a better understanding of how to plan for post-school life.
- To date over 5,000 secondary school students have attended FINCO’s life aspiration workshops.
FINCO Mentor has been developed to support upper secondary school students to make informed decisions about their post-secondary school life to achieve their aspirations. This is done by building the capacity of school counsellors to provide better career guidance, as well as delivering life aspiration workshops for students. Volunteers from the financial institutions mentor students in these workshops to inspire secondary school students to achieve their life goals.
