Who we are

We are a friendly organisation of dedicated and passionate teachers who specialise in teaching and the promotion of Senior Economics in Queensland, and Economics and Business in Years 7-10.

We are determined to break down myths: Economics is interesting, topical and logical. It is understanding front page news and answering questions as to how to make informed decisions when economic conditions are changing. This includes decisions about jobs, production, investments, and entrepreneurial decisions as individuals or as managers in future careers and businesses. Studying Economics gives students hope and optimism, as it involves solving issues for a better world!

To achieve this goal, the association organises and resources a range of activities aimed at enhancing the professional qualities of teachers and the understanding of Economics among students.

QETA Inc. was established in 1968. It is a non-profit organisation.

Economic literacy and financial literacy

Defining what is meant by economic literacy is not straightforward and it has been the subject of debate over many decades. New research by the RBA and their Bulletin article explores the meaning of ‘economic literacy’.

Economic and financial literacy are clearly distinguished by the RBA research.   RBA Bulletin article RBA Bulletin article

This is important information required by teachers of the Australian Curriculum Economics and Business Years 5-10. The curriculum, both versions 8.4 and 9.0 refer to core ideas of economics and financial literacy, so it is critical that teachers appreciate the difference of economic and financial literacy for their teaching programs.

The recording is available to all members and non members of QETA.
