| Panel 2: Standards and evaluation in the digital era
Evaluation of programmes
remains a challenge; however, it is desirable to improve in this field to
ensure quality programmes and impact. In this respect, are current standards
and evaluation methods fit to take into account the digital dimension? The outline is that financial education should
continue to evolve along with trends, such as digitisation, in order to ensure
that handled topics, learning methods and evaluation tools are up to date. Against
this background, sharing financial education initiatives and experiences prove
to be crucial in order to enable policy coherence and standardized approaches
in the evaluation of the programmes. Is there enough research? - Dr Lukas Menkhoff - Head of Department, International Economics, DIW Berlin - German Institute for Economic Research
