RationaleThecentral focusofhomeeconomicsasa fieldof study isachievingoptimal,healthyandsustainablelivingforindividuals,familiesandsociety.Individualsandfamiliesineverysocietyarecontinuallyfacedwithnewandemergentissuesthatcanimpactontheirwellbeing.Suchissuesincludeconcernsrelatingtofood,nutrition,dietandhealth;familyandsocialconcerns;consumerissues;sustainabilityinthehome;responsiblefamilyresourcemanagement;andtextilesandclothing.

In home economics, students learn how to address these practical, real-world, perennialproblems of individuals, families, households and society in socially responsible ways.Practical perennial problems or concerns are endured from generation to generation byfamilies and require critical decision-making skills to resolve them. Home economicseducationusesasystemsapproachtoempowerindividualsandfamilieswiththeknowledgeandskillstoaddressthesereal-lifeconcernsofeverydayliving.Homeeconomicsdrawsondiversedisciplinesintegratingsocial,physicalandhumansciences.Itstrivestosolveeverydaychallengesusingablendofknowledgeandskillsacquiredfrommultipledisciplines.Homeeconomics education develops students’ essential lifeskills and personal independence. Itsupports the development of studentswho are critical, creative thinkers and encouragesstudentstobeproblem-solverscapableofmakingethicallyandsociallyresponsibledecisions.
