A non-profit organisation of teachers and other educators throughout Queensland, Australia, committed to the promotion and advancement of Economics and Business Education in schools.
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.
Unit 2
Defend and elaborate the following stance:
"While relaxing environmental regulations may help increase productive capacity, there are concerns in relation to the long term

Unit 3
Explain why a depreciating currency can be both positive and negative for a domestic producers.
Here's a great video looking at the world's two largest economies and the divergent paths they may be on.In general the US looks to be thriving economically with China facing many significant challenges. In any
case as many Snr students approach Unit 3 - international economics, this video may help explores concepts such as factor endowment,
global trade, competitive and comparative advantage and of course trade policy. Much of this of course adds insight to very substantial
questions regarding Australia's level of reliance on trade.

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.
The recording is available to all members and non members of QETA.
There are many advantages for teachers who are members.
