| Abstract: | Improving the quality of curriculum development in private Universities in
Africa from time to time is a task that is very essential to achieving
effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance in the higher education system.
Financial Intelligence is one of the five components of a twenty first century
education, the kind of education that actually delivers the financial and
wealth building results that people deserve. Unfortunately, a 21st century
education is not something that is currently obtainable in the traditional
school system in Africa, requiring instead that students go out and seek it on
their own. This paper, using the theoretical data method, establishes that
without financial intelligence, graduates from African private higher
education schools will be forced to follow the road of financial disaster, ruin,
and anti-excellence which most people travelled. It explores the world of
financial intelligence and finds that financial intelligence has emerged as a
best practice and core competency in many organizations leading to
improved financial results, increased employee morale, and reduced
employee turnover. It therefore recommends that it is absolutely vital to
integrate financial intelligence into the curriculum of African Universities to
enable students know how to attain financial freedom and have money work
for them rather than simply working for money. |
