Illinois Council on Economic Education Mission
We believe that all children should be able to benefit fully from and contribute meaningfully to the economic system in which they live. It is the mission of the Illinois Council on Economic Education to help all children in Illinois become effective participants in the economy, enabling them to benefit themselves and society throughout their lifetimes. As effective participants in the economy, all students should leave high school with the skills and knowledge that will enable them to become:
- Productive members of the work force, as employees or entrepreneurs
- Responsible citizens
- Knowledgeable consumers
- Prudent savers and investors
- Effective participants in the global economy
- Competent decision-makers throughout their lives
