Barclays equips children with financial literacy

Through the partnership, they organised a one-day workshop to teach students about financial literacy, which usually is attended by the students who stood out from all the schools that participated. Students who participated in the programme this year were from Artesia JSS, Tlokweng JSS, Maikano JSS and Ithuteng JSS and Lentswe primary school attended the workshop.
