Public speaking aims to convey information, provide motivation, influence the audience, control the situation, and also entertain. Furthermore, Mrs Nadya explained the importance of fulfilling the 4Ps when doing public speaking, namely planning, preparing, practising, and presenting.

He explained many things related to how to manage finances well from a young age to stocks and bonds. The scholarship recipients were very enthusiastic in listening to the presentation of the material until at the end of the session there were various questions to the presenters.
Hopefully, this financial literacy and public speaking session can encourage and help prepare scholarship recipients to become graduates who have integrity, national insight, love for the homeland, country and nation and have the capacity and competence to become potential leaders in the future through good financial literacy.
