BSE Institute introduces financial markets sessions among school students across the country
Mumbai, March 3, 2017: Bombay Stock Exchange Institute Ltd (BIL),
the leader in financial education, introduces financial markets
sessions among school students across the country. It kick started the
initiative with a live mock stock session at Dr Rajendra Prasad
government school at the Rashtrapati Bhavan estate, New Delhi. 60 students aged around 12 years participated in the activity of mock stock trading.
This
unique program has been developed by BIL to teach young students the
basic concepts of trading, buying and selling of shares, listing etc.
The program uses a game based learning approach to help the students
learn the world of financial markets and especially how the stock
exchanges work. As a part of the program, students were asked to bid and
build their own teams in IPL style. This involved participating in
strategy sessions and back-room negotiations to select the best team for
themselves followed by mock trading of players whose prices were moving
up or down based on how they were faring in the various matches being
played. The actual cricket matches were also simulated in class with the
students forming IPL teams and playing hand cricket in the classroom,
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Ambarish Datta, MD & CEO - BSE Institute
said, “the current generation of school children are exposed to
multiple media simultaneously. While watching TV, they are chatting with
friends on WhatsApp, and listening to music. This has resulted in
extremely short attention spans. I feel that this has made traditional
learning methods less effective. A game based approach is more effective
because it can sustain interest and attention in settings where the
learner is likely to get bored. Which is why we decided to teach the
working of a stock market using an IPL auction scenario.”
Game
based learning allowed students to learn while having fun and at the
same time balance subject matter. Teachers loved the approach since it
allowed them to embed activities to keep students engaged and make the
entire process of learning interesting.
BIL is offering such sessions to school students across India to make them aware of the financial markets and its operations.
