Economics it is very relevant to learners in the sence that it makes learners to be able to make good choices and decisions in their daily lives, firstly economics its all about how the citizens are sharing the scarcity of resources, so it is good it orientates learners to be ready for the challenging world example of the scarce resources is (money). That is the relevancy of economics for learners.
You will see for yourself this department is very interesting, very good only the challenge of it is that as a educatore you need to be creative in terms of presenting the lessons in class whereby you have to take your lesson out of the class to link it to the really life situation, so you will enjoy it I promise all the best for you.
