Abstract


Regular basic education provides knowledge based on adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing and reading; additionally and depending on the type of educational institution, other knowledge is provided such as religion, arts, historical and social sciences, the study of geography, universal history, education and civics, etc., This leads us to reflect on the type of education that is being promoted for schoolchildren at the present time, which is not bad if all the plans are fulfilled, but what happens when money is not enough until the end of the month, or when there are problems to pay the mortgage, or when there is uncertainty about the cost of living, taxes, interest, etc., there is a crisis within a crisis, all this shows the lack of a good financial education. Therefore, through the qualitative approach, we resorted to the phenomenological-hermeneutic design, in order to explore financial education in elementary school, and how it has served to survive during the post-school stage. The population of interest were the graduates of public and private schools, as well as professionals dedicated to teaching of the same generation. The participants express their opinions and beliefs about the relevance and necessity of including financial education in the school curriculum from an early age. The study provides information on these experiences, providing a basis for establishing corrective measures and formulating guidelines to promote its teaching at some pre-professional preparatory stage.
