It includes an introduction to economics and incorporates all of the appropriate resources that are available through kcee. We provide curriculum resources to about 1,000 teachers.
advocate - we advocate for dedicted courses in personal finance and economics at the high school level. Specifically, we believe that all students should be required to pass at least one course in ecomomics and one course in personal finance. Ideally, each course would be at least one semester in length. Through their teachers, we reach about 100,000 students each year through classroom instruction and by providing programs and competitions that engage students through experiential learning and practical applications of knowledge.
