Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify issues related to the textbooks used in the study of the school subjects of home economics and civics. Both subjects cover the topic of consumer problems, and the course textbooks have similar content and structure, creating inefficiency. We speculate that such a situation adversely affects the willingness of students to study and of teachers to educate. Nowadays we are confronted with consumer damage. But the reformation of textbooks has not been carried out. Identifying repetitions in the course textbooks and then assigning such content to one or other of the two subjects is expected to contribute to a reduction in cases of consumer damage.
