Abstract: For successful participation in a society that faces global economic, technologic, social and cultural changes, development of different forms of literacy is necessary such as informational, digital, media and financial literacy. An appropriate system of financial education stimulates different factors of active citizenship like socially responsible behavior and decision making, cooperation, mobility as well as ethics and moral. In the study, we used text analysis approach; we collected 49 syllabuses of elementary school and check them for the keywords describing financial literacy. In the second step of the analysis, we visualized the networks - which keywords appeared together in individual courses. The study represents a starting point for further research in the area of financial education and promotion of financial literacy in Slovenian schools.
