About Us

The Oklahoma Council on Economic Education (OCEE) is   a 501(c)3, not-for-profit, non-political, non-partisan,  educational organization whose mission is promoting  economic and personal financial literacy for all Oklahomans.

Established in 1954, OCEE is affiliated with the National  Council on Economic Education – a national network of  state councils and university-based centers.  

We train teachers to teach economic concepts, free  enterprise education and basic financial management skills in grades K-12.  Investing in teachers has proved to be the most effective and efficient way to reach our state’s young people.  

Our goal is reaching all children in Oklahoma, giving them  the skills they need to be productive citizens, informed  consumers and knowledgeable voters. Ensuring our students understand economics and know how to manage their financial resources  are the keys to growth and development in our State. 

With record-setting bankruptcies, concerns about jobs, and the need for a quality workforce, the future of our young people is at risk.  And, that hurts all of us.
