SS2 Economics First Term Scheme of Work & Lesson Note
Economics is one of the social science subjects SS2 students are required to offer in first term. The Unit of Instruction for SS2 Economics 1st Term is carefully developed from the Scheme of Work, which in turn is, based on NERDC current curriculum and SSCE syllabus.
Basic Tools for Economic Analysis, Concepts of Demand and Supply, Price System, Theory of Production, Theory of Cost and Revenue, Economic Systems, Labour Market, Unemployment, ETC
