Entrepreneurship

Private businesses produce most of the products and services that we consume on a daily basis and they employ a significant portion of the population. Thus, it not surprising that companies and entrepreneurs hold a vital role not only in our personal lives as consumers, but as drivers of the global economy. Therefore, schoolwork should introduce students to entrepreneurship as a social phenomenon, while providing them with opportunities to gain personal entrepreneurial experiences. Partners, contacts and resources that are external to the school community should be capitalised for the benefit of students, such as through field trips and job shadowing.
