Economics – The Individual and the Economy

At Uchenna Academy, Economics is a compulsory course for our grade 11 class. Our course is designed with real-life applications including preparation of amortization tables, understanding interest and principal loan payments.

Course Overview: This course explores issues and challenges facing the Canadian economy as well as the implications of various responses to them. Students will explore the economic role of firms, workers, and government as well as their own role as individual consumers and contributors, and how all of these roles contribute to stability and change in the Canadian economy. Students will apply the concepts of economic thinking and the economic inquiry process, including economic models, to investigate the impact of economic issues and decisions at the individual, regional, and national level.
