86% of poles advocate for economics and finance classes in schools

An extensive financial literacy study in Poland indicates that 86% of respondents believe schools should include economics and finance classes, a nearly double increase since 2009. Of those surveyed, 29% strongly agree, 57% somewhat agree, while 13% somewhat disagree, and 1% strongly disagree. Professor Dominika Maison from the University of Warsaw notes that individuals with existing financial knowledge are more supportive, potentially recognizing its practical importance. The study reveals that 54% of Poles would find enhanced financial knowledge useful, with men, young adults (35-44 years old), and those with higher education expressing this need more. Additionally, 43% find financial knowledge interesting, marking a substantial increase from 27% in 2009, while the percentage finding it boring has dropped from 33% to 17% in 2024.

The survey, conducted through CAWI from January 5 to 8, involved 1,076 participants aged 18 and above.
