Can introduction of new subjects like trading help the economy?

[Richbased]

I strongly believe that curriculums related to savings and investment needs to be introduced. That's where young population will learn the value of savings. They will learn the basics of finances which will be immensely helpful. Trading is not something that needs to be encouraged. At least this is my personal opinion.

If savings and investment is to be added to schools syllabuses, it will help to broaden the mindset of citizens towards the need to save and invest their money judiciously. Instead of teaching students about trading which is very risky as the chances of losses are higher, it is better for students to be taught about the importance of living a savings and investment lifestyle that will enable them to make informed and productive decisions in the future.

I dont count trading as the best subject to teach not initially at least, teach maths and general intelligence understanding pattern recognition should lead to a good possibility to trade well later if the person is capable of such things, too many varying factors to teach exactly not fundamentally anyway.

AI would be the biggest fastest growth new topic I would expect people to reference and that isnt clear especially either, its a tool people take up later after first starting with the basics like maths and again general intelligent understanding of multiple factors behind the possible programming skills leading to AI.   Ironically AI might well replace alot of coding done currently by people as greater refinement and scaling becomes possible by machines themselves to instruct each other or thats how I understand the advancement in prospect.

No need to put it in the curriculum because in our school he also teaches saving the base of rich but in my opinion this is no longer relevant to be applied. What needs to be done is how to practice students' abilities and change the mindset to be more advanced in facing life challenges. To become rich not only through trade because there are many other patterns that can be done by people, but because schools do not train their students' skills make them difficult to develop themselves.

Investment is much easier and does not have such a big risk because it can be developed outside of crypto and is not limited because many places can be aimed at. But if the school includes a trade curriculum, the limit may only be in small scope such as crypto and usually the risk will be a consideration for someone not to learn it.

Just teaching them to put some money aside every month and think as if they do not earn that is the key to their success and if they learn to do that and act as if they make 9 and not 10 then they will do fine.

There isn't really a "class" needed for this, just make sure that you keep teaching that in general, as a school, like do an organization where kids save their allowance at school and in return at the end of the year, they get it all back total, to show how even without interest, so they can see how small savings could lead to bigger number once a year and they learn this every year, so it becomes a habit. With this habit you could do a lot more in the future, it is not a class, it is just how things are changing for the better and memorize the move.

Most of these topics are already embedded in a subject in school. I know my country the schools teach commerce, marketing, financial accounting, business studies and so on.

 Then you find these topics inside it and you know school gives you like 30% the remaining 70%  is your research. How willing are you to go out there and get more knowledge, no matter how these things are taught in school if an individual does not take it upon themselves to learn more about it, it will just be like a knowledge they heard in class but they never really made use of it.

So teaching these courses in school will help give awareness, at least when they hear about it the interested ones will go dive deeper, I believe most of it is already existent and with the popularity of mobile phones and internet in us we are aware about trading crypto and things like this.

The problem is that currently there are very few people who are truly experts in trading itself. Especially for those who work as teachers in schools. I even have a friend who is an economics graduate. but I can say with full confidence that I understand trading better than my friend. Crypto and stock trading requires more than just theory. because trading crypto and shares also requires other skills such as psychological control and so on.

I think it would be great if schools also introduced theories related to trading itself. It's just that the school has to bring in people who are truly tested and experts in that field. Because if the person teaching doesn't really understand trading in risky assets and so on then it can even have the impact of leading students into the wrong trades which can end in a lot of losses and even deep frustration.

About Trading can be included in the economics curriculum itself. But for now all of this is definitely still very difficult to implement. There are so many theories that can be conveyed that there are even many books in circulation. but an expert in this field is still quite rare. That's the problem I think.

There is a procedure for adding of any subjects to the curriculum of schools which will require first recruitment of qualified staffs to handle the course and that's where people who are qualified will be employed because there is a procedure when employment is to be made , qualified candidates has to apply with their credentials and after that there is interview so I believe that the issue of having qualified staffs will not be an issue to worry about because I believe that there are qualified people who are ready to impact the knowledge that they have to the younger generations

Correct and Well, basically it's like that and all educational cycles will be like that in terms of selecting qualified teaching staff through this procedure. The problem is that implementing a certain curriculum is a decision made by the Ministry of Education and that means it applies to all schools in a country. Meanwhile, the number of schools in my country is really large, even reaching hundreds of thousands of state schools, although mathematically for vocational schools such as those that specialize in certain majors, it is only around tens of thousands of schools, although that number is still very large. And to be honest, I'm not sure there will be enough people who are truly competent in this field who are ready to become teachers who can truly provide easy-to-digest understanding to students at school. But I'm sure there will be too many people who only understand the basics but they will join in registering as teaching staff. And actually in certain subjects there are cases like that. Where the teacher is not competent in this field but forces himself to pretend that he understands best and teaches it to students and in the end the quality of education seems to decline and many students even today doubt the knowledge of their own teachers at school. Because that happened in my school era. And I see a lot of pro traders who are not good at delivering material but they are better at practicing. Meanwhile, what a teacher needs is expertise in delivering material that can be proven by practice itself. Ah, sorry if I'm thinking too far. And it strays a bit from the point of this topic about helping the economy.

i am pretty sure that financial responsibility is already taught in schools but probably just not in complete detail students often complain how no one teaches them about paying taxes and they have to learn about it themselves as adults

trading is too complicated and complex so it’s better to only learn about it if the student want to if not then the knowledge will be wasted since they would not want to use it anyway

Qualifying staff will be definitely those profitable traders and not into those who had blown up their accounts or trading capital of course but its hard to believe that there will be those people who would be trying out to slice up their time on teaching up trading on which they can already made out some serious profits that which is way more than on what they could get on being a teacher or a proctor. We do know about the probabilities for this to be applied because the government will be the ones will be making up some approval. If they will be that allowing trading for it to be included on subjects then its up to them but i do agree into some words or insights from other people above that if they will be that getting enlighten about on what trading is then it might be affecting the number of students who do changed up their career and focusing into trading rather than on going into their course because they've seen that much better income than on getting into those traditional jobs. For sure you would be having this kind of impressions too specially if you've seen that you can earn more and since we humans are naturally greedy or that being attracted into those things that brings us more, then we will surely be sticking into this and forget everything else. Pretty sure that there will be still that debates and multiple meetings about into this kind of decision because if we do just simply look into its pro's then it do also have its cons. It will be that up into the governing bodies whether they will be that considering about those con's and focusing into the potential benefit that it could get. Somehow, if we do speak about on the outcome that it could mold up even more traders then how they would be able to benefit the economy? Come to think that sole traders arent that tax payers? Right? We do even hide ourselves on trying to pay up taxes and thats why i dont see benefit at all in regarding about economic progress or development.

It is important for people to use money wisely and not make unnecessary expenses in terms of the sustainability of their economy. The people who make up the society act with this awareness, which makes the society better. People being knowledgeable about saving and investing can always contribute to both the individual and the society. The reduction of unnecessary expenses and expenses that do not benefit the society in the society also contributes to the society and the individual.

Financial responsibility is a situation that the society should learn and it is an important situation that children should learn in schools or in the family when they reach a certain age. Trade can also be learned and it is an option that especially those who are curious can decide to learn and apply better.

Yes we understand that Trading is a trending topic nowadays but it's not an ideal subject to teach at the very beginning of our financial journey. For the people who had just started understanding economics, directly diving into trading can be harmful for them because they can lose whatever they invested. At the start, maths and general intelligence should be focused and after learning them,the willing person will automatically understand the complex concept of psychology. Trading is a complex field because we have to understand the market trends, technical analysis and risk management which require a strong grip on maths and financial systems.
 AI is a quick and fastest way to learn market trends and analyze massive data to identify patterns and trends that human traders might miss. But AI can also create an uncomfortable situation by providing wrong signals. Trading is an exclusive topic which we understand as we go deep into the market and get experienced.

I was thinking about how acquiring skills like cryptocurrency trading has helped a lot of individuals out of poverty, so I was wondering if subjects like cryptocurrency trading or Forex trading are introduced into curriculum of students, will that not have a direct impact on the economy of the country by reducing the number of people dependent on the government for a job? Has this not yet been considered or is there a reluctance in the government to make sure that people learn valuable important skillset in school aside the other things they have been learning for years.

I did not know the correct place to make this post, economics or trading, I am okay with the moderator moving it to the right place if this is not it.

While back in school, there are some disciplines that you will do and finish but you can't self employ yourself unless you work under someone but all kind of course that you can think of are been taught in school but the economy hasn't really change like that, most people even do work that they never even study in school. Take a look at programming, it's a course in school and even sub courses in many departments but how many has help the economy.

If they do as a skill acquisition, I will say it's better and a way too provide source of money to many people so they don't depend on school or job after school. However, I see one of the main challenges here and that's capital to start it, capital to understand it because money is involved, and anytime they run into loss which is highly, they wouldn't be able to fulfill the dream, even if they master the game of trading, nobody is above mistake and no predictions is sure.

One thing to remember about the education curriculum as far as I know based on my experience as a teacher in a school must be adjusted to the educational goals of a country. Well, every country must have gone through various stages of development in the world of education so that we cannot simply include cryptocurrency subjects if we do not have a primary basis that suits the needs of citizens. We know that there are developing countries whose education system targets in the curriculum must first refer to productive Human Resources.

That way we cannot skip the process and immediately adjust to the growth of education in developed countries. The portions and needs are different, in other words the stages of the education system in developing countries are still below the standard of the education system in developed countries. Including implementing a curriculum system for elementary, secondary, and higher education units.

I don't think introducing this would solve economic problems to be honest. Although this is a skill, but I don't think teachers would teach it well for students to really profit from it. Let's remember that to be able to teach this trading skill better, you must be grounded and very proficient in it and those who are grounded in it might not be willing to entertain normal teacher's wages which may force the academic section to settle for less competent instructors if they cannot handle the fees demands of the proficient instructors, hence defeating the real intent of introducing this in the curriculum in the first place.

Having a proper knowledge of trading could encourage people to trade. It is much more if there is someone who could really teach them. Even if we say that there are a lot of sources of information online, it is not enough for a person to gain confidence. It was completely different when they were fully guided and fully equipped with knowledge. If this has been discussed in school and clearly understood, it certainly gains interest.

But to the question of whether this would help to stop poverty, I still don't think so. Because it was a big problem, the government will have to play a big role in that.

Trade can also be learned and it is an option that especially those who are curious can decide to learn and apply better.

the need to learn is highly recommended in trade it can help to broaden the insight you have, of course it can be used when you need or want to start trading. in general it concerns Financial, and in simple terms it is very important in society about how to manage it, of course to improve the welfare of the community itself to advance the wheels of the economy in the country.

Learning how to manage your economy is something even grown ups can't do. I have seen way too many people who spend more than they earn, even my parents are like that and I am pretty sure we are not going to see something like that at the moment from many young neither.

Considering the wealth gap is growing at the moment we could safely assume that it is going to be quite difficult for many new young adults to ever have enough money to live a decent life, so they are going to end up getting into debt just to have a small decent thing in their life. We are at a point in life where people are saying "drink your coffee at home", literally telling young kids, they do not even deserve a cup of coffee at starbucks if they want a life, imagine how cruel you have to be to tell them, they don't deserve a cup of coffee from outside.

[Promocodeudo]

If it is introduced in the curriculum of students, it has to be made mandatory if not there's still students who will choose to not take it because to them it would be too complex. There are people who don't like the stress incurred in learning a "difficult" subject, no matter how beneficial it is but if it were made mandatory like how maths and English are, they may take it just to fulfill all righteousness.
 Another thing one should know is that for the economy to grow it depends on what decisions the leaders take if not if any subject were to help the economy (and I'm speaking like a Nigerian) subjects like Financial Accounting and Economics should have done that.

Yea, if eventually this assumption comes to reality, the best way to go about it is to make it compulsory for all the schools and their students, I think those are good facts outlined by you, but this can be very effective by employing able hands that has gone very deep on both the theoretical and practical aspect of the aforementioned so that they can take on the course or subject as we may chose to call it, so that students can be impacted very well on this, personally I love anything that involved economic growth of any country but the problems we keep having is our leaders they have failed to prioritize the needful thereby making policy's that are capable of harming the economic system of a their country of jurisdiction.
You're right on the decision of the government being responsible for whatever outcome we get in the economic system of any country,  we've seen whats recently happening in Nigeria and we can actually attribute it to the poor decision of our president with his so called economic team.

If you are seeing it from the point of view that learning skills like forex trading can be of help to an individual that is on a personal base I will agree with you but generalizing it to the overall economy of a country may not be true because the word economy is a complex word that is just beyond learning a skill or a course.



The economic development of a country is controlled and maintained by the government of a country so if the right economic exparts are not employed to managing the economy by reason of giving the right economic policies that when implemented will help to the growth of the countries economy there is nothing that will happen to the economic base of a country

First of all, Trading in general is zero sum game so if someone is making profits means someone else losing their money.

Schools? I doubt that will happen. Trading is something that kept under the radar intentionally and it's wide reach is happening only due to the evolution of internet but big players don't want you to know about it. And for the record school doesn't even teach about money, economics and actual history of money so we can't expect them to teach about making money and financial freedom especially via crypto trading.

In general, this will not affect the economy in any way, because the only plus is that a new tax item will appear for the state, and several new jobs will be created. But at the same time, I see many minuses. For example, scammers will call people and try to steal their money. I also think that lawyers will have a lot of work because of the holes in the bills regarding this area. All this is complicated, but I can definitely say that trading will not create a global revolution in the economy. Although, perhaps someone can get rich this way

Yeah there's a possibilities that someone may gain a lot and change their lifestyle after, but there's no assurance that even there's  proper education about this veneu those who will involve themselves inside will benefits, trading needs to be understood well, a win or an earning for someone who managed to timingly place their investment while losses to those who mistakenly anticipated the market movements.
