Sony Bank Corporation (President and Representative Director: Keiji Minami / Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo / hereafter Sony Bank) announces that on Friday, March 13, 2026, it conducted a class for 145 third-year students at Setagaya Ward Kinuta Minami Junior High School (Principal: Yuji Okudaira / Setagaya-ku, Tokyo / hereafter Kinuta Minami Junior High School).
In the class, in addition to learning about "Life Planning and Household Management" and "From Economy to Asset Management," the bank provided an opportunity for students to think about their own futures. Leveraging the experience of conducting classes on "Concepts of Life Planning and Asset Management" and "Money Management" through an industry-academia collaborative financial education program with Shirayuri University, Sony Bank delivered a lesson tailored for junior high school students that included changes in the economy and the value of money.
Group work was also incorporated into the lesson. To equip students with the ability to think about the money required for the future and how to achieve their goals, they were asked to consider what they want to do in the future, "about how much money is needed" to achieve it, the "time it takes to prepare," and "what methods to use and how much to save."
During the workshop, students presented within their groups, and scenes of them discussing future aspirations such as "wanting to travel abroad" or "buying a car or a house" were observed.
