High School Students Named Best in America at the Council for Economic Education's 2025 National Economics Challenge
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--High school students who quickly answered tough questions posed to state-championship teams at the Council for Economic Education's National Economics Challenge (NEC) finals may not change the world today. As economic uncertainty swirls, high schoolers from across the US showed they have answers to tough questions. Kudos to teams from Ellicott City MD, Exeter NH, Suwanee GA, Carmel IN & Miami who nabbed top honors in @CouncilEconEd's National #EconChallenge Share But they'll be ready to change it tomorrow. Question: What does a linear indifference curve tell us about the relationship of the goods measured on the axes? And question: If the United States trade deficit with China increases by $100 million, what can we conclude about the financial account of the U.S. international balance of payments? By correctly answering more questions like these than high schoolers from other states, teams of students from Mt. Hebron High School in Ellicott City, Maryland, earned first place finishes in both the NEC's Adam Smith Division for returning, advanced and honors economics students and the David Ricardo Division for first-time competitors who have taken no more than one economics course. It's the eighth straight NEC in which the Howard County public school emerged as a national champion or finalist. Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire, also continued wins, capturing first runner-up in both divisions. Lambert High School from Suwanee, Georgia, was named second runner-up in both divisions in front of a home-area audience in Atlanta where this year's NEC was held. Carmel High School from Indiana scored third runner-up in the Adam Smith Division, while Belen Jesuit Preparatory School of Miami took that honor in the David Ricardo Division. A total of 16 teams competed at the national finals following their wins in state competitions. But taking any economics class in high school remains elusive across most of America; only slightly more than half of the states - 28 - require economics coursework to graduate high school, according to CEE's most recent Survey of the States. 'No one expects young people to teach themselves how to read or write,' said Christopher Caltabiano, CEE's interim chief executive officer and chief program officer. 'But too many states let students graduate without teaching them the basic economic principles that are building blocks for success for their lives, their communities and the nation. 'We congratulate all who taught and learned about economics this year, and all who earned their way to the top in their state and advanced to compete in CEE's National Economics Challenge finals,' he added. Raphael Bostic, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and a CEE board member, welcomed students to the NEC finals and noted the value of broad access to financial and economic literacy. 'Early economic education can be an important steppingstone for establishing a positive personal trajectory,' Bostic said, adding his congratulations to the winners. 'Research and experience tell us that sound economic and financial habits can be established as early as age seven, so the sooner we reach young people, the better. We want today's young learners to become adults whose decisions maximize well-being for themselves, their families and their communities.' 2025 NEC Adam Smith Division winners: 2025 NEC David Ricardo Division winners: First place: Mt. Hebron High School Daksh Mathapati, Tanvi Anand, Caleb Son and Vitus Li Coach: Vann Prime First runner-up: Phillips Exeter Academy Alex Ren, David Liu, Lake Zhou and Chris Spencer Coach: Aykut Kilinc Second runner-up: Lambert High School Ethan Baek, Vivan Kotla, Raghava Murthy and Nidhi Madam Coach: Catherine Arbeiter Third runner-up: Belen Jesuit Preparatory School Manuel Irurita, Pablo Castro, Anthony Kiami and Max Erdmann Coach: Andres Jimenez All finalists in both divisions also receive a cash award. Caltabiano thanked Morgan Stanley for its support of the Challenge this year and CEE's state-based affiliates for their work in advancing economic and personal finance education in the states. Mt. Hebron High School also won international rounds with teams who traveled from China; Shanghai High School International Division and Beijing Haidian Foreign Language Shiyan School took second place honors. The Council for Economic Education's (CEE's) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. We carry out our mission in three ways. We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources — online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide — to more than 40,000 teachers annually, who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program. Learn more at and on LinkedIn and on Facebook.

Plastic waste processing plant set up in Greater Noida's Ecotech 12
NOIDA: Greater Noida has set up a plastic waste processing plant, known as a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), in Ecotech 12. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) established this facility, which has the capacity to process five metric tons of waste per day. Waste collected from nearby areas will be brought to this plant, where it will be segregated and used to prepare raw material from plastic. This raw material will then be used to make products like chairs, tables, and lamps. The facility has a monthly capacity to segregate approximately 150 metric tons of waste. Greater Noida generates nearly 25 tons of plastic waste per day. According to the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, it is the duty and responsibility of urban local bodies to set up MRFs in their area. An MRF is a facility where non-compostable solid waste is temporarily stored to facilitate segregation, sorting, and recovery of recyclables from various components of waste by the authorised informal sector of waste pickers, informal recyclers, or any other workforce engaged by the local body for the purpose before the waste is delivered or taken up for its processing or disposal. Dadri MLA Tejpal Nagar, the Authority's ACEO Shrilakshmi VS, and OSD Abhishek Pathak inaugurated the facility on Wednesday. Nagar stated that proper waste management is crucial for any city. 'The authority's initiative in processing waste and working towards making Greater Noida clean is appreciated. Residents from both villages and sectors should support and benefit from this facility,' he said. Chetram Singh, a senior manager at Greater Noida Authority, explained that the waste material is segregated into different streams of waste fractions (paper, plastic, packaging paper, bottles, etc.), which are then sold to intermediaries who supply bulk material to the recycling industries. 'This facility will only handle plastic waste. We will also raise awareness for segregation of waste at the household level,' he said. ACEO Shrilakshmi mentioned that this MRF centre is part of an effort to make Greater Noida a clean and beautiful city. She said that this initiative will only succeed if residents segregate waste at the source. She urged citizens to keep two separate dustbins for wet and dry waste. The centre will initially process five tons of waste daily, and its capacity may be increased in the future. The cost of setting up this facility is Rs 4 crore, which will be borne by HDFC Bank under its CSR fund. The centre will be operated and managed by an NGO, the Centre for Environment Education (CEE). Kartikeya Sarabhai, Director of CEE, said a campaign will be launched to raise awareness among residents about segregating waste at the household level.

Whites still dominate top jobs in South Africa
The statistics contained in the 2025 Commission for Employment Equity (CEE) annual report forms part of the Department of Employment and Labour's basis to forge ahead with legislative amendments despite pushback from opposition parties, in particular the DA. Image: Leon Lestrade/ Independent Newspapers WHITES are eight times their Economically Active Population (EAP) at top management, while the black African population representation at just 18.0% is four times below their EAP. The white population in top management represents 61.1%, Indians 11.9% (four times their EAP) and Coloureds 6.2% while foreign nationals make for 2.8% at this occupational level. The statistics contained in the 2025 Commission for Employment Equity (CEE) annual report forms part of the Department of Employment and Labour's basis to forge ahead with legislative amendments despite pushback from opposition parties, in particular the DA. The party has confirmed it will legally challenge the government's attempt to narrow this inequality, which the department maintains does not bode well for the future sustainable economic growth of the country. 'Despite 31 years of democracy and progressive transformative legislation, there remains a need for further transformation and equality in the workplace. Diversity and inclusivity for all those persons previously disadvantaged in the workplace must now be heard, seen and felt. 'Moving forward, radical measures must be taken to capitalise on the opportunities in the workplace by developing, recruiting and promoting persons from the designated groups,' read the report.

Speaking at a recent workshop in East London, the department's employment equity director, Ntsoaki Mamashela said: 'We have had more than enough engagement and consultation on the setting of sector numerical EE targets with various sector stakeholders, including through the publication of two sets of Draft EE Regulations on proposed sector EE targets for public comment in May 2023 and February 2024, respectively.' 'Let us give sector targets a chance to be implemented, and after five years we will review progress,' Mamashela said. The CEE report also shows that male representation remained dominant at the top management level, which is more than two-and-a-half times the female representation. Males are over represented in terms of their EAP (53.9%) and females are under-represented in terms of their EAP (46.1%). Only Africans and Coloureds are below their EAP in the private sector at this occupational level. The representation of the African population group (74.6%) is slightly below their EAP in government, while in the private sector the African representation continues to lag behind (14.7%) at top management level.
