On Wednesday afternoon, Treasury Secretary Geithner and Education Secretary Duncan will host an event at Treasury to recognize select high-scoring students in the National Financial Capability Challenge. The Challenge, which was unveiled in December 2009 by Secretary Geithner and Secretary Duncan, is designed to increase the financial knowledge and capability of high school aged youth across the United States. At the event, Geithner will discuss the need to complement financial reforms that will set and enforce clear rules across the financial marketplace with efforts like the Challenge to improve the economic and financial education of all Americans, especially the young.
This the only public event on the Treasury Secretary's schedule for Wednesday.
