Nepal Securities Board (SEBON) has launched its capital market policy for the fiscal year 2083/84. In this policy, SEBON announced to run a “National Investor Education Mission” to spread financial literacy across the country and protect interest of investors. Under this mission, the board plans to teach capital market education from school level up to university level.
Capital Market Curriculum in Schools and Colleges
According to the policy, SEBON will coordinate with Nepal Government and Ministry of Education to connect share market knowledge with formal education. They plan to include financial education at school level and a “Capital Market Curriculum” at university level.
To make this successful, the board will also run “Training of Trainers (ToT)” programs to develop skills of teachers who teach in secondary, bachelors, and masters levels. SEBON also aims to provide capital market education to students and young generation through digital learning platforms, mobile apps, and video materials.
Special Programs for Women, Youth and Migrants
The National Investor Education Mission will not be limited only to schools and universities. Under the policy, the board will run a “Youth Investment Program” for young people and a “Women Investor Program” for women. Similarly, an “Overseas Nepali Investor Education” program will also be launched to target Nepali people living abroad.
To spread investor education nationwide, SEBON will collaborate with local levels, business organizations, and chambers of commerce to run financial literacy programs in rural areas.
According to SEBON, the main goal of this campaign is to help investors make investments based on facts, information, and analysis, rather than relying on rumors or gossip. For this, the board has also planned to build and run a separate educational portal named education.sebon.gov.np.
