Annotation -
The objective of economics education is to emphasize that education is an investment that is the engine of economic growth and productivity, investment that contributes to the development of personality and society, and to reduces social inequality. Another aim is to explain the relationship between mixed public goods and public goods .Public goods are such goods and services whose consumption is a matter of public interest and for some reason it is not possible (or desirable) to individually cover the cost of their consumpiton besed on the supply and demand market mechanism. For this reason, the course focuses on education and the public sector in the economy, the macroeconomic scheme of financial flows in the education system, distinguishing the individual and social benefits and measurement of the costs and benefits of education.
