AHSEC Class 12 Economics Syllabus 2023 | HS 2nd Year Economic Syllabus 2023
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE ASSAM
Rationale :
Economics is one of the social sciences which has a lot of influence on every human being. Yet it received little attention in the school curriculum in India. (HS 2nd Year Economic Syllabus 2023 Assam) 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 with opportunities to acquire analytical skills to observe and understand the economic realities.
Bringing Ahsec Class 12 Economics Syllabus 2023 as an abstract knowledge in the early stages of school education would promote rote learning of the subject.
At the Higher Secondary stage, learners are in a position to understand abstract ideas, exercise the power of thinking and to develop their own perception. It is at this stage, the learners are exposed to the rigour of the discipline of economics in a systematic way.
Economics courses are being introduced in such a way that, in the initial stage, the learners are introduced to the economic realities that the nation is facing today, along with some basic statistical tools to understand these broader economic realities. In the later stage, the learners are to be introduced to economics as a theory of abstraction. 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 issues which are broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they acquire 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.
Objectives :
- Understanding of some basic economic concepts and developing economic reasoning which the learners can apply in their day-to-day life as citizens, workers and consumers.
- Realisation or learners’ role in nation building and sensitise them to the economic issues that the nation is facing today.
- To equip learners with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse economic issues. This is pertinent for even those who may not pursue this course beyond the higher secondary stage.
- To develop an understanding that there can be more than one view on any economic issue and to develop the skills to argue logically with reasoning.
The Economics subject should be taught in two years at the Higher Secondary stage. The details of course for each semester are as follows :
