This double lesson introduces learners to public expenditure by the government. We start by looking at the three different types of expenditure (current, capital and transfer payments) before a quick activity where students estimate how much of the pot is distributed in different areas. We then look at various graphs and charts such as spending over time, spending as % of GDP, changes in spending on different areas, future spending forecasts, all this should help to contextualise the topic, we also compare spending as % of GDP internationally. We then go onto look at reasons for changes in public expenditure as well as the impacts on aspects such as productivity, equality, taxation and crowding out. Some true or false questions to consolidate, video case studies for further contextualisation. In the second lesson, there a diamond 9 group activity so students can justify where money should be spent, this creates a great opportunity to turn this into an election sort of activity as we then split the class into two different parties, each preparing a manifesto on how they will spend the budget.
