for students:
1) if you belong to a campus group/organization, try looking for a time and venue to sit down and play cashflow. it's really enjoyable and, more importantly, educational (trust me, i was able to have my first game last night and wished that i was able to have that experience when i was still in college)
2) read, read, read! (dudes could provide you with a lot of good authors)
for teachers:
1) try playing cashflow first (and other educational board games) and see if you could apply it as a teaching tool in class
2) make the financial theories more applicable by giving examples based on the Philippine setting
3) make financial literacy be part of the curriculum for all students
i guess that will be it for now. just my two cents.
bangon Pilipinas!
