Abstract

“We were not taught financial literacy in school.  It takes a lot of work and time to change your thinking and to become financially literate”. Robert Kiyosaki

     This paper aims to assess the level of financial literacy and participation in capital market operations among teachers and linkage between the two. Learning and teaching economics, management, finance, accounting subjects provide a strong base of financial literacy, but it would not effect in the building up of confidence to participate in capital market operations.  Even though most of these subjects deal with how to manage money in the individual and corporate environment, it will not encourage them to put their money in the stocks and bonds of companies. Like any other Indian retail individual investor, they depend too much on bank deposits for their savings because of their presumed safety and lack of interest.  Financial literacy is not the sole solution for overcoming the reluctance by the investors for participating in stock market operations.

KEY WORDS: Financial Literacy, Participation, Teachers, Capital Market Operations
