Food Technology and Home Economics
Home
Economics provides learning contexts in selecting, preparing and
serving food to ensure the empowerment of individuals and families to
make informed choices in their lives in the most basic of ways. Home
Economics teaches the importance of critical and reflective thinking
about social issues towards enabling optimum health, focusing on how
students can be empowered both individually and collectively.
Home
Economics learning experiences enable students to develop competencies,
making connections between their daily lives and their future world,
and to strengthen their understanding of the interconnectedness of
dependence, independence and interdependence within families and
society.
The Home Economics body of knowledge continues to be relevant and meaningful for students today and in the future.
Within international and national contexts there is resurgence in Home
Economics, as it is increasingly recognised as relevant to meeting
current and future social needs.
