In this subject, students are expected to:

1. understand economic concepts, principles, and models
2. apply economic concepts, principles, and models in a variety of contexts
3. apply communication skills in economic contexts
4. apply economic thinking to construct arguments and make recommendations
5. analyse a range of data and other information using economic concepts, principles, and models
6. analyse and evaluate the intended and unintended consequences of economic decisions.

These learning requirements form the basis of the:

• learning scope
• evidence of learning that students provide
• assessment design criteria
• levels of achievement described in the performance standards.
