喜讯 | 多位ASJ学子在NEC全美经济学学术活动中创佳绩！Recently, the National Economics Challenge (NEC) was announced, and six ASJ students won several awards.  The "Best" Economics Academic Event The National Economics Challenge (NEC) is a highly influential academic event for high school students sponsored by the American Institute for Economic Education. After 20 years of development and accumulation, more than 20,000 students are invited to participate in the event every year, and the event and the participants are widely supported and recognized by famous financial institutions on Wall Street and top universities in the United States. According to statistics, more than 60% of NEC participating students are admitted to top schools such as U.S. Ivy League schools and UK G5 schools every year. After its introduction to China in 2016, the NEC has reached more than 20 provinces and regions and 300 schools across China. The participating students will be evaluated through four segments: economics assessment, case analysis, economic innovation quiz and economic super bowl. The participants' knowledge and mastery of economics fundamentals, scientific application of economics knowledge, critical thinking, teamwork ability, and adaptability to the situation are examined respectively.  徐腾渊Leibniz The biggest impression of NEC is that there is always someone better. Because it is anational competition, most of the participants have a good English and economic foundation, and it is more difficult than the PRE category, so the requirements for the participants are higher. Because of this experience, I am not satisfied with the present and choose to continue to work hard. 黎映彤Antonia This year's competition was different from previous years, so the difficulty of the questions was also increased. But I also learned more that wasn't in the textbook. 王雨薇 I am very grateful to my mentor Neo and my teammates, and I think it was a valuable experience to participate in this competition, so I treasure this opportunity. I am constantly learning new things to improve my skills and learn to think from the perspective of economics. 叶泓枫 Through participating in this competition, I have learned more about economics and improved my thinking skills on the way to the competition. DSE helps enhance financial literacy The NEC tests students' financial literacy and critical thinking through conceptual analysis of economic theories, simultaneous follow-up of international current affairs and comprehensive investigation of real-life cases. In addition to the core subjects, ASJ also offers economics elective subjects to stimulate students' interest in the subject, develop students' basic knowledge of economics and guide them to use critical thinking to gain insight into the world. Leibniz said that the economics elective course was his introduction to economics, and the teacher was very interesting and comprehensive in explaining the knowledge points, so he became interested in economics. He began to read news and academic knowledge about economic development on social networking sites and platforms, and used the time after class to discuss with the teacher the impact of current events on economic development, gradually acquiring more knowledge about economics. Antonia also became interested in studying economics after her first semester of exposure to economics classes and decided to continue studying economics as an elective course. In ASJ , teachers will help students to quickly understand and grasp the knowledge by combining real-life examples and current news, and provide students with the opportunity to grow in diversity by gaining a basic knowledge of economics while also developing an interrogative mindset. |
