Teacher Immersion Event – 2017
On 21 June 2017, the Reserve Bank hosted the first event in its Teacher Immersion series. The event was an opportunity for secondary school economics teachers to learn directly from experts about the Reserve Bank's roles and functions, receive an economic update and be taken through topics that teachers have most commonly asked questions about. Teachers were also exposed to current Bank research that is aligned to curricula.
