The following WAEC/GCSE ‘O’ Level Economics course outline is intended as a general guide and is constructed over twenty sessions. Please note that the depth and pace of course content may be tailored to suit each student’s unique needs and prior understanding. This outline presumes a foundational understanding of Economics and may thus vary for students at different proficiency levels.

In addition, the course content can be customised to meet each student’s or group’s unique needs, creating an adaptable learning environment suitable for learners of all levels. Therefore, this outline can be modified for full-program students and those involved in revision programs.
