Why Economic Education ?

Critical to success in the global marketplace, today’s students need to become informed citizens able to benefit and give back to society without the financial burdens accumulated all too easily when uninformed choices are made.  Each resource listed here stands in support of education making a difference in the lives of our children.

We would like to thank the Arkansas Council on Economic Education for generously providing access to the recently released video.
