This study analyzed the revised 2022 curriculum to explore the problems and improvements of elementary school financial education. The results of the study showed that there are three major problems with elementary school financial education. First, there is an absolute lack of time for financial education. Second, students learn ‘consumption and allowance management’ without understanding the ‘concept or role of money’. Third, there is no content on 'savings' and the focus is on ‘consumption’. In order to improve the problems, this study proposed to add an achievement standard aimed at ‘understanding the concept and role of money’ and to revise the related achievement standards in the direction of emphasizing ‘savings and consumption’ together. In addition, we explored ways to increase the ease of implementing financial education in creative experiential activities. It was suggested that financial education standards should be established by grade level considering the developmental level of students and that examples of how financial education standards can be combined in various ways by time period and subject should be provided.
