This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach, this study involved 11 teachers as respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire adopted from the developed instrument. The results of the study indicate that the level of financial literacy of teachers is quite good. The majority of teachers understand the importance of insurance for future protection and carry out regular savings activities. However, it was found that teachers lack confidence in comparing prices when making transactions. Regarding perceptions of financial literacy education, teachers generally agree that financial literacy learning is important to be taught from an early age and can have a significant impact on the quality of life in the future.
