Five Shifts for Secondary School Economics
A discussion paper explaining five transformational shifts for secondary school economics, backed by evidence.
This new discussion paper is packed with evidence and insights for transforming economics education in secondary schools.
Focused on five key shifts, the paper challenges current curricula and lays the groundwork for economics courses that prioritise human and ecological wellbeing. The paper directly addresses the International Baccalaureate (IBO) in its current economics review work, but the ideas are globally relevant for other regional, national, and international education systems.
The paper is published under a Creative Commons license, meaning you can use, adapt, and share it freely. If you use it, we’d love to hear what you're doing to track its impact 🌱 - so get in touch!
In the coming weeks, we’ll release adapted versions for the Netherlands and England. These education institutions, like the IBO, are at a pivotal moment. Will they embrace transformative change in secondary economics curricula to pave the way for regenerative futures? Or will they continue teaching extractive worldviews for another decade, worsening the metacrisis?
Join us in exploring how economics education can serve people and planet. Read and share the paper, tell us your thoughts, and let’s amplify the global movement for change! 🚀
