The Johannesburg Stock Exchange says school and university teams looking to up their investment and financial knowledge can apply to participate in the JSE Investment Challenge.
“For five decades, the competition has been a significant vehicle to promote financial literacy, demystify the trading landscape, as well as encourage savings and investment from an early age,” explains Idris Seedat, head of transformation and CSI at the JSE. High schools may enter one or more teams, with the challenge being open to all learners. A team must consist of four members from grades eight to 12 and a teacher must supervise each team.
