We welcome the arrival of the first student-led issue of Equilibrium Lite, a new publication produced jointly by the Economics departments of Habs Girls and Habs Boys. This magazine aims to provide non-economists with an insight into topical issues affecting the UK and global economy as well as complementing the learning of Sixth Form students.
When students reach Upper 5 (Year 11) they have to decide on their A Level options and for many Economics is an interesting but relatively unknown topic. The Economics departments across both schools have been working together to generate more awareness of the market mechanism and Economics much earlier on in students’ school life. They are doing this through a range of activities such as a Dragons’ Den style competition last year, a planned enterprise club (pandemic permitting!) and now this magazine.
Whilst this issue was written and edited by Sixth Form students, the hope is that future editions will include work from students lower down the schools as well as staff and guest contributors such as Old Girls and Boys.
The aim is to produce the magazine half-termly and develop the format from student feedback. If there are any budding journalists among you who would like to contribute please email your ideas/contributions to EQUILIBRIUMLITE2020-21@live.habsgirls.org.uk.
We would like to thank Anjali Patel, Karishma Kara, Jay Batavia and Aly Shamsi who have been the driving force behind the inaugural publication.
