The goals for the South Carolina Financial Literacy Initiative are to: (1) provide students in kindergarten through twelfth grade with tools they will need in the real world to manage their finances; (2) increase comprehensive services so students have reduced risk for financial failure after high school; and (3) promote high quality programs that provide instruction on pertinent financial literacy issues pursuant to Section 59-29-410. Editor's Note 2006 Act No. 382, SECTION 5, provides as follows: "It is the intent of the General Assembly that state agencies involved in financial matters shall actively provide nonfinancial support to the South Carolina Financial Literacy Initiative. In addition to those agencies answering directly to the Governor, those agencies headed by boards and commissions or constitutional officers shall use their resources to provide nonfinancial support, as appropriate, toward the goals of the Financial Literacy Initiative reflected in Section 59-29-460 and the long-term plans of the initiative and to assure that relevant planning documents or processes are consistent with, and supportive of financial literacy."
