Schools in south China's Guangzhou city will begin teaching students about financial investment.
The capital of south China's booming Guangdong Province is home to a large concentration of the country's individual stock market investors.
Provincial authorities will incorporate the courses into the curriculum for some schools from the fall semester.
The pilot program, the first of its kind in China, will involve nearly 10,000 students in three grades from 36 primary and secondary schools.
The biweekly course includes lectures on the basics of financial services, such as stock trading.
Risk awareness will be a major part of the syllabus.
