Web Portals to Support Financial Literacy in Blended Learning in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Financial literacy now appears to be a key component of a successful national financial education strategy. Financial education, financial consumer protection and financial inclusion are the goals of top country policies. For these reasons, it is necessary to assess the levels of financial literacy in each country. The emphasis on financial literacy is already devoted to small children and includes the entire population. The aim of the paper is the OECD international comparison, which focuses on three key areas: financial knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Based on this questionnaire, the situation in the Czech Republic was analyzed. Subsequently, web portals of Czech state institutions (Czech National Bank, The Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, Czech Banking Association) focused on financial education were presented. The individual portals are evaluated and checked to see if they meet the standards of financial literacy. These portals are useful for teaching using blended learning which is gaining increasing attention in the Czech Republic. Primary and secondary sources were used in the paper.
