H1 Economics Vs H2 Economics in Singapore JCs

By: Mercy, in Category: JC

In the Junior College (JC) curriculum in Singapore, H1 Economics and H2 Economics are both core subjects that aim to provide students with an understanding of basic economic concepts, theories, and issues.

H1 Economics covers the basic principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, such as demand and supply, market structures, national income accounting, inflation, and unemployment. The focus is on building a foundation of economic concepts and principles, and developing basic analytical skills to understand economic issues.

H2 Economics, on the other hand, covers a more extensive range of topics and requires a higher level of economic proficiency. In addition to the topics covered in H1 Economics, H2 Economics also covers topics such as international trade, economic growth, development, and monetary policy. H2 Economics aims to equip students with more advanced analytical skills and a deeper understanding of economic issues.

The main difference between H1 Economics and H2 Economics is the level of depth and complexity. H2 Economics requires a higher level of economic proficiency, and covers a wider range of topics than H1 Economics. H2 Economics also requires students to have stronger analytical skills and a deeper understanding of economic concepts.

In terms of university admissions, most undergraduate courses in economics require at least H2 Economics, and some courses may require a minimum grade for H2 Economics. Therefore, it is recommended that students take H2 Economics if they are considering pursuing a degree in economics or related fields. However, H1 Economics is still a valuable subject that provides a good foundation in economic concepts and can be suitable for students who are not planning to pursue a degree in economics or related fields.
