Too Many Maryland Students Graduate Without The Personal Finance Skills Necessary to Succeed in Today’s World.
Today’s educators are expected to prepare students for a complex financial world — often without enough time, resources, or confidence in the subject matter. Without strong support, students risk graduating unprepared for the real-life decisions ahead of them.
MCEE Is Here to Help.
Together, We’re Building Brighter Futures
For more than 70 years, the Maryland Council on Economic Education has been the trusted partner for educators across the state. We provide practical, classroom-ready solutions so you can focus on what matters most — empowering your students. MCEE equips educators with the resources, training, and support they need to teach economics and personal finance concepts effectively, so every student has the opportunity to build a successful future.
