IB Economics Diploma – Years 12-13
The IB Economics course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of economic principles and their application to local and global contexts.
The curriculum covers microeconomics, macroeconomics, international trade, and development economics, allowing students to examine key economic issues such as market dynamics, government policy, and global inequality.
Theory of Knowledge (ToK) is an integral part of the course, prompting students to question the assumptions underlying economic models, evaluate the reliability of data, and explore the ethical dimensions of economic policies.
The teaching methodology emphasises inquiry, discussion, and independent research. By connecting theoretical concepts to contemporary examples, students gain analytical skills, critical thinking abilities, and a nuanced understanding of economic systems, preparing them for university studies and future careers in economics or related fields.
