Economics

This term’s curriculum explores critical aspects of national and international economic advancement. It begins by distinguishing between economic growth and development, laying the groundwork for understanding how improvements in income, infrastructure, and quality of life are measured. The next focus is on economic development planning, where students examine how governments create strategies to boost national progress and allocate resources efficiently.

Subsequent lessons dive into the role of international organizations such as the IMF, World Bank, and ECOWAS in supporting economic goals. The curriculum then reviews current economic plans within the country, analyzing their objectives and implementation. It concludes with a look at economic development challenges, identifying issues like corruption, poor infrastructure, and policy inconsistency that hinder progress.
