So, what is Enterprise in Education?
It is not just about making and selling!
It is about being enterprising

• Being creative, be able to problem solve, to make
  decisions
• How pupils develop their learning skills eg
  reflecting
• Encouraging a can-do attitude
• Allowing our pupils to take responsibility
• Our approach and methodology making learning
  real and relevant - relating topics to the world
  of work

Therefore it is not about teaching enterprise as
a subject per se, rather teachers deliver their
subject lessons in an enterprising way that
contextualises learning, that wherever possible
involves employers, and makes learning relevant
in the context of the world of work and todays
global environment. Determined to Succeed

Determined to Succeed - Enterprise in Education
Aye, but why is this so important to us .zzzzzz
- we just want to teach the weans how to read
and spell!
Approximately 20 of our Primary 1 pupils will be
doing a job which does not currently exist. By
the time they have finished their education (year
2021) over 40 of the population will be
pensioners. (So we need pupils who have a range
of life skills which makes them flexible, in
order they are an active workforce that can help
to pay for our pensions!) Source - FutureSkills

Why is an enterprising approach so important?
Scottish Government policy Skills for Scotland
a lifelong skills strategy - September
2007 The labour market also needs enterprising
people. These people still need to be effective
employers or employees, but they are also the
people who create ideas and have the confidence,
determination and skills to translate those into
positive action, for economic or social benefit.
We need to continue to create an enterprising
culture in our schools and make the link between
the classroom and the workplace so young people
see the relevance of their learning. We need to
maintain our focus on developing young people's
enterprise and entrepreneurial skills and
attitudes so we create in them an appetite
for innovation, ambition and wealth creation.
