During comprehensive sessions held, 56 students from ACA Girls School received presentations from Gulf Bank personnel about the ways to earn and consciously spend, share and save money in a responsible way.

Fatima Al Jassim and Yassmine Al Rashdan from Gulf Bank conducted the sessions at ACA Girls School, presenting the fundamentals for making sound financial decisions, identifying characteristics of positive work ethic, identifying ways of earning money through personal businesses or jobs, calculating operating expenses and income for small businesses, and how to develop business plans based on job skills and interests.

The 'More than Money' program aims to teach students about earning, spending, sharing, and saving money, as well as ways of earning money from their jobs or businesses. The program also encompasses the school economics and business curriculum for students in grades five and six.
