Social environmental changes that affect school economic education are rapidly occurring and these changes are required in the direction of future economic education. Accordingly, this study attempted to find the direction of future economic education by analyzing the changes in the economic education environment and collecting opinions from experts. The results of the study are as follows. First, regarding the competencies that should be emphasized in future economic education, 10 items were finally derived, including consumption management competencies.. Next, 26 items were derived, including the various roles of economic entities according to changes, as topics that should be emphasized. Regarding teaching and learning methods, 8 items were suggested, including learners’ proactive participation. Finally, it was derived that the economic education-related institutions should clarify their respective roles more clearly than before. Based on the research, it was suggested that it is necessary to establish a foundation for the private sector to support economic education and that it is necessary to establish core concepts of economic education that reflect changes in the economic environment. In addition, sufficient time should be secured to activate economic education.
