Check if you qualifyEconomics Education is a degree that combines the study of economics with the skills needed to teach it in schools. This kind of programme typically prepares you to become an economics teacher, but it also builds analytical and communication skills useful in many careers. At Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development, the degree is offered as a full-time programme in Kumasi, and entry is less competitive.
What economics education programmes cover
Degrees in economics education usually blend economics theory with education studies. You will likely cover microeconomics, macroeconomics, quantitative methods, and economic development, alongside courses in educational psychology, teaching methods, and assessment. The goal is to give you a solid grasp of economics and the practical tools to explain it to senior high school students.
How hard it is to get a place
This programme is less competitive to enter than many other degree courses. If your WASSCE results meet the university's published requirements, you have a good chance of being offered admission. The same degree at the University of Education, Winneba is also less competitive, so you have options if you are interested in studying economics education.
Where an economics education degree can take you
Most graduates of economics education become teachers, usually at the senior high school level, teaching economics or related business subjects. Others move into education administration, curriculum development, or training roles in companies and government. With further study, some graduates also work as economists, researchers, or policy analysts.
