The South African Reserve Bank is giving learners a new opportunity to build money management and financial literacy skills through its school outreach programme at the newly opened SARB Museum in Pretoria.
The programme uses interactive activities to teach young people about economics and the country's financial system.
Visitors can also explore South Africa's economic history through exhibits, historical artefacts and artworks, making economics more accessible to the public.
The museum forms part of the Reserve Bank's efforts to make economic education more accessible to all South Africans.

South African cancer survivor Torsten Koehler is developing a gaming app to help young people recognise the warning signs of cancer and understand the importance of early detection.
The app will use interactive games and quizzes to teach users about cancer risks, healthy habits and when to seek medical advice.
The foundation plans to introduce the platform in schools, youth organisations and community programmes across South Africa, while seeking partners to support its development and rollout.

A newly renovated library was unveiled last week at Luyolo Primary School in Emdeni, Soweto, to help improve literacy and give learners better access to books.
The upgraded facility was introduced through a community-led initiative to strengthen reading and learning at the school.
Education officials and literacy advocates encouraged pupils to make full use of the library to develop their reading skills and improve academic performance.
