Економічна Олімпіада

Помічник вчителя

Усе, що потрібно педагогам для викладання вступного курсу економіки

Кожен може осягнути економіку здорового глузду!

По всій Східній Європі, Південному Кавказу й Центральній Азії фонд EFI та його місцеві партнери пропонують учням, студентам, викладачам і широкій громадськості можливість вивчити основні економічні принципи, що впливають на їхнє повсякденне життя, рідною мовою і без фінансових витрат. Для цього EFI й партнери реалізують інноваційні програми для учнів старших класів шкіл і студентів університетів, а також їхніх викладачів, спрямовані на стимулювання та підвищення інтересу до вивчення і викладання економіки. Наші зусилля спрямовані на проведення олімпіад з економіки й підготовку викладачів. Наша мета, яку ми поступово реалізуємо з розширенням мережі партнерів у регіонах, — підвищити рівень економічної та фінансової грамотності й, таким чином, сприяти особистому й національному добробуту всіх і кожного для підвищення загальної якості життя та створення щасливішого суспільства.

What's New?

Bridging the language divide

EFI’s multimedia library is a treasure trove of economic content for learners and teachers alike. It contains a continually expanding collection of videos and articles, categorized and searchable by topics that range from entrepreneurship and personal finance, to free trade and economic freedom. The collection is provided by educational content providers, mainly in the U.S. and western Europe. EFI’s in-house economists select the material they judge most relevant to audiences in our region, which is then translated and subtitled, and promoted to students and teachers by our network of country partners.

Partner profile: Georgia – a new NGO committed to bringing economic literacy to the nation’s education system

In late 2021, three driven young economists, fueled by a shared passion to improve national standards of economic and financial education, formed the Georgian Economic Literacy Initiative (GELi). Recognizing the importance of understanding economics and finance in everyday life, they embarked on a mission to make these subjects more accessible and relevant to everyone. GELi envisions a future where economic literacy is integrated into the national educational system, empowering individuals to make informed financial decisions and to contribute actively to Georgia's economic development.

Thanking James Gwartney, pre-eminent economist and educator

The EFI community is saddened by the death of James Gwartney, lead author of “Common Sense Economics” and co-author of the Economic Freedom of the World Report. Jim, Professor Emeritus at Florida State University, was the embodiment of the phrase "a gentleman and a scholar." His career was dedicated to increasing understanding of economics at all levels.

Georgia: the monks helping students realize their potential

Nestled in a remote and isolated valley in southwest Georgia, the village of Zarzma is home to a remarkable educational project. In addition to their painstaking work restoring the 14th-century monastery they call home, a small group of Georgian Orthodox monks teach at the village’s middle school, introducing teaching methods and creating a learning environment which is inspiring their students to reach new levels of achievement.

Competing across countries

This year, EFI has supported its partners in 8 countries to oversee the Economics Olympiad, a multi-round competition for high school students which culminates in an international final that will be held in September in Slovakia. Across Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, North Macedonia and Ukraine, 9000 high school students from more than 900 schools took part. The competition was launched in 2017 by the Czech Institute of Economic Education (INEV), and has grown from 4,000 students in its first year to over 75,000 students from 17 countries participating this year.

Pushing curriculum reform

For the past two academic years, EFI has supported its partner in Georgia, the Georgian Economic Literacy Initiative, to design and deliver an introductory economics course for 10th and 11th grade students at one of the country’s top high schools, Komarovi. The course follows the structure of “Common Sense Economics” and was the catalyst for the development of EFI’s Teacher Toolkit. The Toolkit contains slide decks, instructor notes and assignment suggestions so that teachers can with ease introduce economics into their classrooms. We are delighted that Komarovi was among 300 schools who took part in the Economics Olympiad this year; 15% of the 230 students advancing to the national round were from the school. Read more
