Statistical Data
- 41% of middle and high school students plan to start their own businesses.

- Ambition remains higher among students in grades five to eight (55%).
- High school students (60%) are more than twice as likely as fifth- to eighth-grade students (27%) to say their school offers classes in how to start and run a business.
- The field of entrepreneurship is situated
in the intersection of three perspectives (economics, psychology and sociology) that when developed, emphasizes its importance in society.
- Content, methods and activities
add support to the creation of knowledge, competencies and experiences that make it possible for students
to initiate and participate in entrepreneurial value creating processes.
- There are similarities between entrepreneurial competencies
and non-cognitive factors, such as perseverance, self-efficacy, learning and social skills that encourage an academic mindset.
- Value creation occurs on a social and emotional level in society, and is connected to people’s happiness, not
only in making a living but also in feelings of meaningfulness, participation, engagement and life
satisfaction.
- There is a problematic
deficit of new and innovative value creation activity and that equipping all citizens with increased
entrepreneurial competencies through entrepreneurial education is a viable strategy for alleviating this
problem.
- Studying entrepreneurship benefits students from different social and economic backgrounds by teaching people to cultivate unique skills and think outside the box. Itcreates opportunity, instills confidence, ensures social justice and stimulates the economy.
- Entrepreneurship education triggers the entrepreneurial initiatives by enhancing enterprising mindset among the students.
- Entrepreneurial ability involves adaptive behaviors and strategies to influence others’ actions in relational contexts.
- Standardized, content focused,
passive and single-subject based curriculum in traditional education is contrasted with an
individualized, active, process-based, project centered, collaborative, experiential and multidisciplinary
approach in entrepreneurial education.
- Teaching through entrepreneurship involves an action or method-based
experimental process, where potential entrepreneurs learn directly
through entrepreneurial experiences.
- Continuous education for entrepreneurs: Continuous learning
programs for entrepreneurs who have started successfully business and have
some experience.
- There is increasing consensus among researchers that
letting students work in interdisciplinary teams and interact with people outside school / university is a
particularly powerful way to develop entrepreneurial competencies among students. Indecently, the majority of students in grades five to eight have intentions of starting their own business, but few have access to classes on how to achieve this goal later in their lives.
- The conceptual learning by doing model is a framework that shows how learning (internalization) and value creation (externalization) are
interconnected and can reinforce each other.
