Economics class XI

Economics is one of the social sciences, which has great influence on

every human being. As economic life
and the economy go through changes, the need to ground education in
children’s own experience becomes essential. While doing so, it is
imperative to provide them opportunities to acquire analytical skills to
observe and understand the economic realities.

The economics courses also contain many projects and activities.

These will provide opportunities for the
learners to explore various economic issues both from their day-to-day
life and also from issues, which are
broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they learn in
these courses would help to develop
the projects and activities. The syllabus is also expected to provide
opportunities to use information and
communication technologies to facilitate their learning process.

 Understanding of some basic economic concepts and development of

economic reasoning which the learners can apply in their day-to-day
life as citizens, workers and consumers.

 Equipment with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse

economic issues.

 Development of understanding that there can be more than one view

on any economic issue and necessary skills to argue logically with
reasoning.
