The world of Economics and economics teaching presents numerous fascinating questions like, What is the relationship between Trump’s tariffs and livelihoods in India? What misconceptions do students commonly hold about themes like poverty? How can we create lively, engaging classroom discussions on economic issues? Does inflation hurt everyone equally? How much does the Indian government spend on health and education? Is corruption an economic issue?

Azim Premji University is organising a one-day workshop for Higher Secondary Economics teachers. If you teach Economics at the Higher Secondary level, this is an opportunity to participate in some engaging sessions on both economic issues and how to teach them. The sessions will be linked to the Higher Secondary Economics syllabus while also going beyond it. You will find theoretical ideas, policy debates, and hands-on activities coming together to create an engaging learning experience.
Members of Economics group will be sharing their learnings and are excited to hear about your experiences of teaching Economics.

Key themes of the workshop: 
Microeconomics in the Indian context (concepts such as demand, supply, perfect competition, market equilibrium, market disequilibrium, etc), among other things.

This will be the first of many such workshops that goes beyond capacity building, and aim to strengthen university – school linkages so that together we can create a learning community working towards a just, equitable, and sustainable world.

Who should attend?

The workshop is open for school teachers teaching Economics.
