INEV organizes educational seminars for high school teachers
3.5.2019
In INEV, we believe that good teachers are the most important determinant of the quality of education. It is why we have decided to start offering economics seminars for high school teachers centered around the topics of financial literacy, macroeconomic, international economics and the history of economic thought.
All of these courses are completely free for the teachers as they are accredited and financed by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The seminars are led by major czech economists such as Mojmir Hampl and are offered in Prague, Brno and Zlin.
We have already organized the first two seminars and so far we are very enthusiastic about this project, as we believe it is the most effective way to complement our current efforts in the Economics Olympiad to improve economic education.

Testimonials
"The first year of the unique project Economics Olympiad for high school students was for me, personally, encouragement, warning and adventure in the same time. Encouragement because so many talented students and their amazing teachers got involved in completely volunteer learning mysteries of the economic science. Warning because the results has shown how much we need to work on financial and economic education at our high schools, so that the economic myths around us will wane. Adventure because it was for the first time and it was successful. I am looking forward to next years!"
"We appreciate especially the approach of the Economics Olympiad that evaluates not only knowledge of students but at the first place the ability to think."
"Economics Olympiad was definitely missed by students and it deserves to become so common at high schools as e.g. Olympiad in Mathematics. I am really happy to have participated in the first year of the EO because I have finally excelled in what I truly like and I confirmed to myself that I can aim higher in this field."
"Economic literacy is inherent part of the complex education of these days. Without regards to professions and specialization, everybody should have solid basics in economics enabling responsible personal financial management. The knowledge of macroeconomic principles and realms is important for ability to decide reasonably in political elections. The Economics Olympiad plays significant role in building the civic society. Its results point out at the questionable preparation of the high school students. Isn't that paradox when economic fields are the most popular fields to study in Czech universities?"
"The Economic Club of INEV helped me to find my interest in macroeconomics. I appreciate especially the possibility to meet various important people who I could talk with about anything what came to my mind."
"Economics Olympiad is a unique competition that fosters students with interests in economics and finance. For students, it is great way how to informally get to know people from the business. For employers, it is extraordinary channel how to introduce themselves to future motivated analysts, economists and IT experts. For me personally, the EO meant a bridge into a fellowship and subsequently a job in one financial institution."
"I do not usually evaluate competitions with such enthusiasm as in the case of the Economics Olympiad. The way of asking questions and their topics finally give us advice on how we should teach our students economics, what they need for their future students' life and it moves us forward in our knowledge. We are looking forward to measuring of our skills and knowledge in the next year of the EO!"
