About MCEE

In an effort to impact the level of economic literacy of Mississippi's citizenry, especially our young people, a group of business leaders recently instituted the Mississippi Council on Economic Education (MCEE) as an affiliate of the 60-year-old National Council on Economic Education (NCEE), which has such state affiliates in almost every state.    
 
The vision of the Mississippi Council on Economic Education is of students leaving school prepared for their economic roles as workers, consumers, citizens, savers, investors and lifelong decision makers.  To date, more than 3,100 teachers have participated in the training programs provided by the Council.  Those teachers are impacting 310,000 students.

Specifically, the MCEE is about closing the gap between what young people need to know about economics and what they are being taught in the classroom.  
 
The MCEE's mission is to insure that the K-12 schools and teachers in Mississippi provide quality instruction in economics and personal finance to our young people, that is academically sound and non-partisan.
