As students approach their Leaving Certificate exams in economics, their learning is complicated by the ongoing trade policies of Donald Trump, which challenge traditional economic teachings. With 5,000 secondary students engaging with economics, the curriculum is increasingly at odds with real-world events, such as tariffs on pharmaceutical imports. The uncertainties introduced by the world's largest economy affect how these students understand both global trade and market principles, leaving them in a precarious position as they prepare for their futures.
"As students prepare for their Leaving Certificate exams, they find themselves grappling with economic realities that contradict the established doctrines they have been taught."
"Amid the disruptive politics and shifting policies under Donald Trump's administration, students of economics are faced with a textbook that conflicts with the real-time developments in global trade."
