Entrepreneurship education (School education gateaway)
Entrepreneurship competence is the ability to identify and seize
opportunities and to plan and manage creative processes that are of
cultural, social or financial value.
It requires a knowledge of contexts and opportunities, approaches to
planning and management, ethical principles and self-awareness.
It includes the skills of creativity (imagination, critical reflection,
problem-solving), communication, mobilizing resources (people and
things), and coping with uncertainty, ambiguity and risk.
An entrepreneurial mind-set also includes the attitudes of self-
efficacy, motivation and perseverance, and valuing the ideas of
others.
For entrepreneurship education to be effective in developing the
competences of learners, the capacity of schools to create supportive
and stimulating learning environments is as important as is the
personal competences and motivation of educators.
Entrepreneurship education cannot take place in isolation from the
world outside of the school. It may require working in partnership
with external organisations in order to facilitate learning in other
ways.
