He indicated the CFPB is working to promote financial education at a new level and committed to engaging and supporting teachers and parents. He said, "The Bureau plans to continue to work cooperatively with other organizations, like Jump$tart, to promote financial education and capability by coordinating existing K-12 financial education efforts nationally, building on best practices, and, where appropriate, filling critical gaps."
