Does Entrepreneurship Education Matter ?
Plant a seed, cultivate an idea…
….reap a reward
Scotland
The Lisbon Agreement – plant a seed
“The secret to achieving the vision of the Lisbon agreement is in our classrooms!”
“Unless Europe is prepared to invest in enterprise education at all ages, involve the private sector as a partner in the learning process, and inspire its young people to think outside the box …
Lisbon’s vision of sustainable growth and more jobs will not be achieved.” Lisbon Agenda 2000
The Lisbon Agreement – plant a seed
Scottish Enterprise history – plant a seed
….long, active tradition in
enterprise….
• Ministerial Review of Education for Work and Enterprise (2001- 2002)
• Scottish Executive Response (March 2003)• Determined to Succeed - Phase 1 (2003-08)
Phase 2 (2008-11)
Can do – will do
Determined to Succeed“So DtS is not about teaching enterprise as
a subject. Per se; rather teachers deliver their subject lessons in an enterprising way , that contextualises learning , that involves employers wherever possible, and make learning relevant in the context of the world of work and today’s global environment.”
DtS Three Years On 2007.
