Conclusion

The study of Economics in Fourth High School may not draw interest from student
due to many factors such as lack of background (previous knowledge) about the
subject. These make economics more challenging in the part of the teacher. Through
the newly acquired 21st century teaching approach, students will be interested and
encouraged to learn about the subject.
