When effort and diligence bear fruit
17.5.2020
Dáda was in her third year of study at high school, when she accidentaly got the information about the Economics Olympics. She had texted to the organisational team and found out, that the competition had already been started for another students of her school. At the last moment she managed to attend the school round of the competiton, but because of lack of the time for preparation, she didn´t get into next rounds. She decided to change it next year.
She read all of the recommended literature. She spent many hours by studying and soon after that she noticed great contribution of her self-study and consultations with her teachers. Lectures of economics became more interesting for her. She started to make connections between all of the information and knowledges and it also helped her at the Seminar of economics brains – competition at the Faculty of Economics and Administration of the Masaryk University.
The year of hard work was really worthy. She represented her school at the regional round of the Economics Olympics and she won the third place. She also won the Seminar of economics brains and she was accepted for study at the Faculty of Economics and Administration without entrance exam.
When she decided to study Finance at the Masaryk University, she found out, that INEV is looking for the intern. She was selected for the internship, thanks to her hard work and enthusiasm for the economy. In additon to this, she became part of the prestigious Investors´Club and she is the youngest member of the organisational team of the Club.
What Dáda says about her work at INEV?
„I had no idea, I would have so many opportunities. I have a responsibility for many projects and great practice during my studies. I became part of INEV very quickly and I was able to learn many things and get knowledges also in fields I didn´t know before and were something new for me. We have a great team and I am glad, that I can be a part of the organisational team of the Economics Olympics – the competition, which was very important in my life and changed many things.”
We are very pleased, that INEV and the Economics Olympics are helping students to stand out in a crowd. Students are developing their focuse, independence and personality, because they decide to spend time and voluntary education, financial literacy and improving general overview.

Vysočina region was not missed and high school students were also tested there within the Economics Olympics. Interview gave us two students – Nikola from Střední škola TRIVIS Jihlava and Pavel from Gymnázium Havlíčkův Brod.
First of all we are interested in students´ feelings and impressions about the test in regional round. Nikola and Pavel agree that the test was difficult. Nikola mentioned that the atmosphere of regional round was great and Pavel liked the test, although it was difficult.
During the enrollment into the Economics Olympics Nikola followed motto “Nothing lost for trying”, so she registered.
“It is broadening one´s outlook about financial literacy, during the competition students get many new information” That is how student Nikola commented the Economics Olympics.
Pavel stated, that he did not prepare particularly, while Nikola said:”I was reading reccommended literature, also some of my school notes and I searched for new information on the internet.”
“Generally the Economics Olympics was interesting for me, so I registered and today I can confirm it´s interestingness.” Pavel shares similar opinion about an importance of the Economics Olympics as Nikola does. He mentions, that it proves financial literacy, which is very important in daily life. We wish good luck to Nikola and Pavel, not just in the Economics Olympics!

Testimonials
"The first year of the unique project Economics Olympiad for high school students was for me, personally, encouragement, warning and adventure in the same time. Encouragement because so many talented students and their amazing teachers got involved in completely volunteer learning mysteries of the economic science. Warning because the results has shown how much we need to work on financial and economic education at our high schools, so that the economic myths around us will wane. Adventure because it was for the first time and it was successful. I am looking forward to next years!"
"We appreciate especially the approach of the Economics Olympiad that evaluates not only knowledge of students but at the first place the ability to think."
"Economics Olympiad was definitely missed by students and it deserves to become so common at high schools as e.g. Olympiad in Mathematics. I am really happy to have participated in the first year of the EO because I have finally excelled in what I truly like and I confirmed to myself that I can aim higher in this field."
"Economic literacy is inherent part of the complex education of these days. Without regards to professions and specialization, everybody should have solid basics in economics enabling responsible personal financial management. The knowledge of macroeconomic principles and realms is important for ability to decide reasonably in political elections. The Economics Olympiad plays significant role in building the civic society. Its results point out at the questionable preparation of the high school students. Isn't that paradox when economic fields are the most popular fields to study in Czech universities?"
"The Economic Club of INEV helped me to find my interest in macroeconomics. I appreciate especially the possibility to meet various important people who I could talk with about anything what came to my mind."
"Economics Olympiad is a unique competition that fosters students with interests in economics and finance. For students, it is great way how to informally get to know people from the business. For employers, it is extraordinary channel how to introduce themselves to future motivated analysts, economists and IT experts. For me personally, the EO meant a bridge into a fellowship and subsequently a job in one financial institution."
"I do not usually evaluate competitions with such enthusiasm as in the case of the Economics Olympiad. The way of asking questions and their topics finally give us advice on how we should teach our students economics, what they need for their future students' life and it moves us forward in our knowledge. We are looking forward to measuring of our skills and knowledge in the next year of the EO!"
