Stock Trading Guru Board Game Competition (Cancelled)

The Stock Trading Guru Board Game Competition ("the Competition") is organised by the Hong Kong Association for Business Education (HKABE) and The Investor and Financial Education Council (IFEC) and supported by the Education Bureau. It aims to help secondary school students learn some essential financial knowledge, and encourage good attitudes towards money management.

To help teachers teach money management at schools we have developed the Stock Trading Guru board game, produced related teaching resources and also delivered professional training to Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (BAFS) teachers. The game can help teachers teach "Stock Trading as an Investment" – a compulsory part of the revised BAFS curriculum. Currently more than 250 teachers have already been trained to use this teaching resource.

In view of the latest EDB restrictions for student activity, the Stock Trading Guru Competition is confirmed to be cancelled.
