Course Curriculum
Begin with the fundamental ideas behind economics and how scarce resources influence decision-making. Learners explore the role of individuals, businesses, and governments within economic systems.
Explore how households, businesses, and other participants interact within a market economy. The circular flow model helps illustrate how income, spending, production, and resources move through the economy.

Explore how prices communicate information within markets and influence consumer and producer behaviour. The section considers the factors that can contribute to changes in market prices.
Learn how responsive demand and supply can be to changes in prices and other economic factors. Elasticity provides a useful way to understand consumer behaviour, revenue, and market responses.
Examine situations where markets may not allocate resources efficiently. Learners explore the causes and implications of market failure and why intervention may sometimes be considered.
Explore how businesses produce goods and services and the costs associated with production. Learners consider how costs can influence output, pricing, and business decisions.
