The Year 12 Economics students spoke extemporaneously on current topics .The Class was split into groups of 4 and the students were given 5 minutes to prepare on the following topics:
■The pound sterling has lost its shine
■Going to the Moon is not a matter of Physics but Economics
■You don’t make the poor richer by making the rich poorer
■ There are no free lunches
■An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.
■Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The JAM Activity was followed by a general class discussion on the significance of the topics . It provided an excellent opportunity to the students to brainstorm on topical issues.
