This book is aimed at lower secondary school pupils and will be supplemented by a “teacher’s guide” with suggestions on how teachers can plan their lessons. This, we hope, will address the problem I mentioned earlier, namely that economics is often taught by teachers who have not studied the subject and are therefore grateful for support in their preparations.
In addition, we have developed a media package for lower and upper secondary school levels in cooperation with the Medieninstitut der Länder (the federal states’ media institute).10 We at the Bundesbank are especially proud of our new Money Museum in Frankfurt, which was reopened last December after a complete overhaul.
