Its specific characteristic is outlined as a social, open, system that realizes the purposes and the tasks of training geography and economics. In this context, the question of pedagogical competence of teachers is also examines: as a socially-active mechanism of the social function of curricula; as an effect to achieve the expected results for the 10-th grade curriculum. The competency, activity-oriented and interdisciplinary approach came out as the main, implicit introduction of the activities for achieving the results of the new curriculum.
