NSSCO Economics (6145) case studies

NSSCO Economics (6145) is the Ordinary Level Economics subject in Namibia's senior secondary curriculum, normally taken in Grade 11 and examined by the national examinations authority. It suits learners who want a grounding in how households, firms and governments make choices about scarce resources, and it is often a stepping stone to AS/A Level Economics, commercial studies or further vocational training. The syllabus is broad rather than deep: it moves from the basic economic problem and price mechanism through costs, market structures, money and banking, national income, inflation and unemployment, international trade and exchange rates, and finally development issues with particular reference to the Namibian economy. Assessment is by written examination, with structured short-answer and data-response style tasks that reward accurate definitions, correct use of diagrams and the ability to apply theory to a short scenario. The NSSCO Economics (6145) case studies are 5 cases and about 3,911 words.
