Home Economics – preparing young people for life
The report of the Curriculum Review Group – ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’, describes the purpose of school education as ensuring that all young people should develop the capacity to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible and informed citizens and effective contributors to society and at work. As effective contributors they should develop an enterprising attitude, resilience and self-reliance.
“To achieve this breadth will require both subject-based studies and activities which span several disciplines”
The annual conference aims to support learning and teaching in Home Economics by taking account of national initiatives and addressing important curricular issues. This conference will look beyond the subject boundaries to link it positively and productively with recent innovations and more cross-subject activities.
