Teacher in Charge: Mr T. Tinworth
This course covers major economic issues that affect all of us, inflation, international trade, and economic growth. You will be able to understand and measure these issues as well as understand their cause and possible effects. You will also become aware of Government policies designed to address these issues.
It is a very informative and topical course, which provides you the opportunity to better understand the nature of the New Zealand economy. Economics complements learning in other subjects and this course provides a good background of understanding for study at a higher level.
A student will be withdrawn from a standard if the teacher is not confident that the achievement of the standard is within the reach of the student or there is no evidence of the student attempting the assessment.
It is recommended that students purchase an economics workbook at approximately $25.
