Looking at Home Economics

Home Economics is an applied, multi-disciplinary subject that provides students with a wide range of learning experiences and the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for living as individuals and as members of a family. The integration and application of theoretical knowledge combined with the development of practical skills are at the core of Home Economics.
