INTRODUCTION

Home Economics (HE) is a profession and area of study that focuses on managing and conducting
household and community economics. Consumer education, institutional management, interior design,
homemaking, cleaning, handicrafts, sewing, clothes and textiles, cooking, nutrition, food preservation,
hygiene, child development, and family connections are some of the official study areas in home
economics. It prepares students for professions in domestic work or the workforce.
At various educational levels, home economics courses have distinct functions. Students in home
economics learn practical knowledge and skills for homemaking in elementary and junior high school.
Students are introduced to all aspects of home economics and jobs associated with it in high school.
Students studying home economics in community colleges tend to focus on either technical training or the
first two years of job preparation. Home economics majors prepare for a variety of employment in the
field at the college or university
The subjects of food and nutrition, clothes and textiles, child development, housing and interior design,
family and consumer economics, and management are frequently covered in secondary school home
economics courses. Project-centered methods and individualized problem-solving education are
frequently employed. For instance, as part of a lesson on interior design, a student might assist a local
group in redecorating their leisure space.
The Vocational Education Act of 1963 significantly increased access to home economics instruction. In
order to prepare students for careers in subjects connected to home economics, it offered federal funding
for programs in secondary schools, local vocational institutions, and community colleges. Those who
completed this occupational training could go on to work as, for instance, waiters, or fashion designers.

HOME economics is one important component of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). But it is
undeniably considered as the most financially viable subject from before because it is considered as “just”
a subject for students especially girls who would make do every home, and would keep every home well
provided with the basic needs
Today, home economics is offered as an elective at middle and high schools throughout the Philip- pines.
Life skills are still a component of the pro- grams, especially at the middle school level, where students
may receive an introduction to nutrition, basic sewing and cooking, and first aid. Some middle school
programs even offer babysit- ting training, allowing students to graduate with industry certifications in
first aid and CPR.

Home economics is often divided into seven categories

COOKING

 One of the most important (and popular) aspects of home economics is cooking. Not only will
cooking food be studied, but students will also be taught food preservation and safety
Child Development

 In addition to cooking and nutrition, home economics students were taught how to rear
children. This included learning about the stages of child development and how to correctly
respond to children at each stage. Today, students who study family and consumer sciences still
learn child development, which has become so significant that it is, in many places, its own
major.

HOME MANAGEMENT

 This doesn’t only mean learning chores and setting a schedule for them, but it also means
learning how to do minor repairs and who to call for major appliance repairs when needed.

SEWING AND TEXTILES

 Repairing a tear or patching a hole is a great skill to acquire for anyone, as it helps save money. It
can also save you from embarrassment if you unexpectedly rip a piece of clothing outside.

BUDGET AND ECONOMICS

 Bookkeeping, doing taxes, and budgeting money are crucial skills any child should learn to be
prepared in their adult life

HEALTH AND HYGIENE

 Especially with how the world is today, this learning aspect proves critical for everyone to understand how
diseases can be avoided at home through proper and regular cleanliness.

Education and Community Awareness

 Since women were the first educators for their children, teaching them basic reading and math
skills before they entered school, it was significant for them to understand how best to teach
these skills. Though education and community awareness, which included moral and ethical
lessons, were originally a part of the home economics education, it has become so significant
today that elementary education has branched into its own field of study -- but one that is still
dominated by women.
