We are a friendly organisation of dedicated and passionate teachers who specialise in teaching and the promotion of Senior Economics in Queensland, and Economics and Business in Years 7-10.
We are determined to break down myths: Economics is interesting, topical and logical.
It is understanding front page news and answering questions as to how to make informed decisions when economic conditions are changing.
This includes decisions about jobs, production, investments, and entrepreneurial decisions as individuals or as managers in future
careers and businesses. Studying Economics gives students hope and optimism, as it
involves solving issues for a better world!
To achieve this goal, the association organises and resources a range of activities aimed at enhancing the professional qualities of teachers and the understanding of Economics among students.
QETA Inc. was established in 1968. It is a non-profit organisation.

Remember when interest rate news was exciting? This week RBA Governor Michelle Bullock announced the decision to hold interest rates steady, noting the definite slowdown of inflation, and gdp growth, and that the fine-line remains with the majority of economic indicators, especially amidst global uncertainty. Here's the statement earlier this week, complete with specific analysis and the latest figures and trends.
There's going to be a lot of news and opinions on the US Tariffs on Australia, here's a quick
video looking at the Australian industries that are most likely to be affected,
given they are exporters to the US. And, for the global perspective, here's a bit
of a breakdown of the "sweeping" tariffs across various countries. One thing that's most interesting is of course Australia's response, to, at least so far, "not reciprocate" with tariffs on US imports. Here's the Prime
Minister's speech
on such, create about a good a time as any for students to understand the impacts of tariffs.
Defining what is meant by economic literacy is not straightforward and it has been the subject of debate over many decades. New research by the RBA and their Bulletin article explores the meaning of ‘economic literacy’.
Economic and financial literacy are clearly distinguished by the RBA research.
This is important information required by teachers of the Australian Curriculum Economics and Business Years 5-10. The curriculum, both versions 8.4 and 9.0 refer to core ideas of economics and financial literacy, so it is critical that teachers appreciate the difference of economic and financial literacy for their teaching programs.
