The upper secondary school level comprises all school types subsequent to completion of compulsory schooling.

In addition to the teaching resources and an interactive website, iconomix also offers a range of training options for teachers.

These include on-site workshops (held at the individual schools on demand) and off-site workshops.

iconomix offers schools half-day or all-day workshops which are held on the school’s own premises. These courses are held at the request of the school.

In the workshops, teachers have the opportunity to test iconomix in a group and adjust it to their needs.

The peer-to-peer workshops are given by an iconomix coach and are tailored to suit the different types of schools.

iconomix coaches are specially trained teachers who work regularly with iconomix in class and work on contract for the SNB.

iconomix describes basic economic skills as the ability to use broadly applicable economic principles in understanding everyday situations and in aiding the decision-making process, and the ability to apply these skills when dealing with finances.

The objective of the iconomix teaching resources is to enable students to apply economic skills in everyday life.

To this end, iconomix pursues an educational concept which does not just focus on imparting knowledge, but also focuses on teaching the necessary skills.

The curricula define the teaching goals, educational content and other requirements of the courses taught at the different types of schools.

General curricula apply to the whole of Switzerland and, on the basis of these, specific curricula are formulated for the individual cantons and school types.
