1. The Department of Education (DepEd), through the External Partnerships Service (EPS), signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) in October 2021 relative to their DiskarTech Program. The DiskarTech Program digitalizes the concepts of alkansya (savings), paluwagan (loans), seguro(insurance), and bayad (payments). It aims to promote financial stewardship practices with the teachers and parents by allowing the learners to experience building financial education milestones through DiskarTech. As part of the program, a supplementary learning material (SLM) was developed, titled Aralin sa Madiskarteng Pananalapi to support DepEd financial literacy campaign for teachers and learners.
2. The RCBC's DiskarTech is in support to DepEd Order No. 022, s. 2021 titled Financial Education Policy and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) National Strategy for Financial Inclusion, which is aligned with the DepEd program to include financial lessons in the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.
3. The Aralin sa Madiskarteng Pananalapi (Lessons on Smart and Resourceful Financing) is a primer, digital coffee table book on financial education that focuses on the philosophy and practices in earning, spending, saving and investing money through inclusive digital finance technologies and applications. The materials are available and may be downloaded from DepEd Learning Resource Portal; viewed at podcast episodes and online episodes via DiskarTech TV; and browsed on DiskarTech social media accounts. Intended users of these materials are the Senior High School (SHS) learners and teachers from the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strand and Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track.
4. The SLM's objectives are to
a. apply basic personal finance principles and practices in earning, spending, saving and investing money;
b. appreciate the use of inclusive digital finance technologies like digital banking application, e-wallets and other digital finance platforms; and
c. demonstrate a basic understanding of financial technology and financial inclusion.
5. All SHS learners, teachers, and parents from the ABM strand and TVL track are encouraged to access and download the DiskarTech application to experience the digital personal financing.
