How could i make this code better

I answered the question but I wanted to know how could I solve this problem more efficiently

my code

def covers_all(topics): topics_covered = [] counter = 0 for x in COURSES: counter = 0 for y in topics: if y in COURSES[x] counter += 1 if counter == len(topics): topics_covered.append(x) return topics_covered
