For schools

We actively promote economic education through a variety of publications and activities. These include an annual Monetary Policy Challenge for high school economics students, in which teams compete to produce simulated monetary policy advice. In 2012, around 90 schools of 3-5 students each entered the contest.

The links below are intended for students and teachers, and provide information that explains many of the Bank's policies and activities.
