QCAA 2025 Economics syllabus
Implementation Year 11 in 2025
Implementation Year 11 in 2025
2025 Syllabus was released in January 2024. Implementation is Year 11 in 2025.
EVENT:
The first thing you will note is a change to the template. This has been explained at QCAA webinars as an improvement by reducing the number of words and reducing duplication and complexity in all syllabus templates. If you are concerned or unsure about how the Economics syllabus looks, check out any other syllabus in HASS to see how all syllabuses have changed. Look for reduced and clearer specifications and changes in how the word counts are expressed in the assessments.
There are now only 4 syllabus objectives. "Selecting" has been moved into other objectives.
Subject matter has been rearranged:
The assessment techniques are the same. The Instrument Specific Marking Guides have been amended to reflect the change in syllabus objectives and the change in subject matter organisation. Points to note are the absence of word counts in examinations, and greater specifications on the number of economic criteria to be used in assessment.
Next, there is no glossary attached. In its place, there is a new section called "Additional subject-specific information". This has information about Economic criteria, Use of data in Economics, Research report and Analytical essay etc.
