Education’s role in relation to the economy is contested. One position is that education should equip young people to compete for jobs in the commercial marketplace. A contrary position is that education is precisely separated from the market so that young people can develop the relationships and capabilities that will allow them to thrive in society more broadly. This paper argues that rather than getting caught up in this longstanding debate we may find common ground if we ask a different question, namely: what sort of education will enable young people to create long-term economic wellbeing for themselves, their families and their communities?
Economic wellbeing refers to the personal and collective ability to mobilise economic, social and material resources to achieve personal and collective wellbeing. This ability can be understood to depend upon what the economist Kate Raworth calls ‘provisioning practices’ that provide goods, services, care, materials, and the basics of living (Raworth, 2017, p. 67). These provisioning practices include paid work in the marketplace in exchange for money, but also access to goods and services provided by households, by the commons and by the state. Education for economic wellbeing, in this perspective then, cannot be understood as a question of preparation for work alone.

The checklist was developed in accordance with the health-promoting schools principles and approaches.It highlights the importance of multi-level coordination (i.e. national, subnational and individual school levels) and both participatory and co-designed approaches among various stakeholders (e.g. school staff, teachers, students and parents). This approach aims to optimize compliance with public health and social measures based on social and cultural contexts, as described in Considerations for implementing and adjusting public health and social measures in the context of COVID-19.
