    Abstract
    No one subject is better than another. However, numbers and figures play a large role in how societies function. Economics is the study of the facts and figures that affect government, households, families, businesses, and the overall state of the world’s resources. Thus much importance is attached to the learning and teaching of economics in our educational system, and the performance of students in secondary schools in Nigeria in this subject has remained an issue of concern to all stakeholders. This calls for why this study investigated the relevance of preservice education economics curriculum contents in teaching senior school Economics in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive form of survey. Teachers of Economics in senior schools constituted the target population. They were sampled from private and public senior schools in Kwara state. There is a total of 302 economics teachers in Kwara State out of whom 217 were purposively sampled. Researchers designed a marching items questionnaire with psychometric properties of content validity, and a reliability index of 0.69 was used to elicit the needed data from the sampled respondents. The data collected were analysed using frequency and percentage mean. The finding revealed that the teacher education curriculum contents were very relevant in the teaching of senior school Economics. It was recommended that the content of economics education should remain as it is since it has catered well for the effective teaching of senior schools' Economics content.
