    EMS is very essential and important in our country. The way the markets are setup now, disparities and opportunities that address the needs of customers. It is important to have basic skills and knowledge as a student in order to exploit and explore such opportunities.

  2. Iam concerned about how EMS is introduced in grade 7, In most cases it is taught by teachers who are not commerce teachers and cannot even give the right name of the learning area. They call it economics management science,what more of the content!!
