Abstract

Abstract. Adolescence plays an important role in financial literacy, this is because adolescence is a period for individuals to begin developing financial understanding and behavior that will influence their financial decisions as adults. Adolescence according to the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 25 of 2014 is the population in the age range of 10-18 years. The level of financial literacy according to SNLIK 2024 in adolescents between the ages of 15-17 years is only 51.70%, the lowest compared to other age groups, namely the 18-25 age group 70.19%, 26-35 years 74.82%, 36-50 years 71.72%, and 51-79 years 52.51%. Likewise, students of the Insan Cendekia Gorontalo State Islamic Senior High School are a generation of adolescents who are still unstable in financial management. On May 1-4, 2024 at the ARUNIKA event at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Insan Cendekia Gorontalo as an educational institution that upholds religious and national values, took an active role in financial literacy through the CBP Rupiah program in collaboration with Bank Indonesia as the initiator of the Love, Pride, and Understand Rupiah (CBP) program which aims to increase public awareness and love for the importance of financial literacy, especially the Rupiah as a symbol of state sovereignty. Education plays a very important role in financial literacy, namely in instilling a sense of love and pride in the symbols of state sovereignty contained in the Rupiah. Through education, individuals are taught about the history, culture, and noble values of the nation. In addition, education also provides an understanding of the importance of maintaining the country's economic stability.
