The Knowledge Fund Establishment (KFE), in partnership with the National Bonds Corporation (NBC), has announced the launch of a new phase of the Young Investor Program, a pioneering initiative aimed at strengthening financial literacy among school students in Dubai.
This latest expansion targets over 75,000 students across 50 private schools, reflecting the programme’s growing impact and alignment with Dubai’s Education Strategy 2033 and Social Agenda 33. The programme introduces students to key financial concepts such as saving, personal budgeting, and planning, using interactive and engaging content tailored to school-age learners.
First launched as a pilot—the first of its kind in the region—the Young Investor Program has rapidly scaled due to strong public-private collaboration and increasing demand for practical financial education. It represents a core initiative under the broader vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, which emphasises nurturing a financially aware generation and positioning Dubai as a global hub for education and innovation.
His Excellency Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, CEO of the Knowledge Fund Establishment, stated that the programme plays a vital role in providing students with essential life skills and reflects KFE’s commitment to driving impactful educational partnerships.
Mohammed Qasim Al Ali, Group CEO of National Bonds, echoed this sentiment, highlighting that early financial education is key to building a resilient and informed society capable of navigating the challenges of an evolving economic landscape.
The initiative also forms part of a broader push by KFE to strengthen collaboration between the public and private sectors, aiming to build a future-ready, knowledge-based economy supported by a financially literate and empowered generation.
