💬 Welcome to the Home Economics Department!

Home Economics Education helps students to interpret and understand the world of family and work, and to identify and solve challenges that occur in their daily lives. The aim of the curriculum is to provide opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes that have immediate and future applications in their personal and family lives, as well as in several key sectors of our local and global economies.
