Entrepreneurship education is seen as more than preparation on how to create and run a business. It is about how to develop the entrepreneurial attitudes, skills and knowledge which, in short, should enable a student to ‘turn ideas into action’. The following is proposed in relation to teacher development. ● Teachers cannot teach how to be entrepreneurial without themselves being entrepreneurial. ● Entrepreneurial competencies require active methods of engaging students to release their creativity and innovation. ● Entrepreneurial competency and skills can be acquired or built only through hands-on, real life learning experiences. ● Entrepreneurial skills can be taught across all subjects as well as a separate subject. ● Entrepreneurship education should focus on ‘intrapreneurs’ as well as entrepreneurs, in light of the fact that most students will use entrepreneurial skills within companies or public institutions. To give entrepreneurship education real traction, there is a need to develop learning outcomes related to entrepreneurship, and related assessment methods and quality assurance procedures for all levels of education. These should be designed to help teachers progress in the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills and knowledge through partnership with business and the community.
