MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN GURU SMP DI KOTA MATARAM TERHADAP PASAR MODAL BERSAMA BURSA EFEK INDONESIA DAN PHILLIP SEKURITAS

Abstract

Junior high school teachers in Mataram City generally have low capital market literacy, which hinders early financial education for students. To address this, the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) NTB Representative Office and Phillip Securities conducted an educational and mentoring program attended by 87 junior high school teachers and GBTK staff. The program applied seminars, technical training, stock transaction simulations, and direct assistance in opening securities accounts. Initial survey revealed 78% of participants lacked basic capital market knowledge; post-program, 40% successfully opened investment accounts. Negative perceptions that stock investment is high-risk and only for the wealthy shifted to a more rational and inclusive viewpoint. The initiative also encouraged teachers to integrate capital market materials into classroom learning, strengthening financial literacy and inclusion among educators
