Mark Levine, Manhattan Borough President and candidate for city Comptroller, is focused on boosting financial literacy across New York City. His plan includes teaching financial skills to public school students, facilitating bank accounts for them, and instituting a financial literacy unit within the Comptroller's Office. Levine's initiative comes in response to nearly 10% of households in the city lacking access to bank accounts. He emphasizes the need for financial literacy to empower all New Yorkers, regardless of age, and plans to carry these values into his role as Comptroller.
Mark Levine's proposal aims to address the alarming 9.4% of New York households that lack bank accounts, promoting financial literacy as a crucial solution.
Levine believes that financial education should begin in schools, empowering students by teaching them about banking, savings, and money management from a young age.
