If, as reported, young people’s knowledge of economic terms can be expanded, then we not only need (updated) books like “Economy – briefly explained” from the IWS, but we also need places where this knowledge is taught to young people is brought forward.
60 books for school
In the Aloisianum college, the learning aid – 60 books were given to the school – is used in lessons in the modular upper level. At the Catholic private school on Freinberg, economics is a focus that they want to deepen, as director Michael Haderer explains in the OÖN interview.
The modular upper level is a special feature in the interconnected all-day school, because from the 6th to the 8th grade, the students can choose their own focus by choosing modules. One of them is economics.
“Business is responsibility”
According to Haderer, it’s not just about imparting basic knowledge, terms such as profit, export/import or equity, the young people can also get a business driver’s license and undergo four semesters of training to become a “business leader”, which is also a high school diploma subject . The Aloisianum also takes into account the psychological and mathematical components of business and economics, and the school is a pioneer with this offering.
Climate Alliance School
And because, as the director puts it, business also has a lot to do with responsibility, sustainability also finds its place in the school’s focus. Quite apart from the fact that as a climate alliance school you also have to be interested in it. “From the 2024/25 school year onwards, you can also acquire expertise in sustainable business, similar to the company driving license,” says Haderer.
Cooperations with banks or institutions such as the IWS (Initiative for Business Location Upper Austria) or WIFI as well as participation in the Erasmus program would also make it possible for students to look behind the scenes of companies or to gain new perspectives at partner schools. “The Jesuits’ international network can be used for this,” says Alois Froschauer from the school association. There is the possibility of mutual student exchange with partner schools in Rome and Mainz. And of course excursions to Brussels, for example, are also on the training plan.
There are currently 421 students attending the Aloisianum college, where they are taught by around 70 teachers.
