• Benefits:
• Prepare your students for an uncertain future: The recent COVID-19 pandemic
has taught all of us an important lesson: Our lives can dramatically change at
any time. Some economic experts predicted many people’s jobs would become
automated during the next few decades, even before the global pandemic.
Why entrepreneurship education Important?

• Students develop their creativity and collaboration skills: Entrepreneurship


education supports creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
• These skills are highly valued by the top colleges and most businesses in the
world and will be used by your students well beyond their middle school
and high school years.
• Businesses are often rewarded for creating products and services that seem
new and different.
• The best new ideas are usually a result of two or more people working well
together.
• Teach students how to identify and recognize problems.
• must know how to identify problems before learning how to solve them.
• Traditionally, problem-solving is taught by presenting students with issues
that are already clearly defined by someone else.
• In the real world, problems can only be solved when they have been
properly identified and described.
• Entrepreneurship education helps students learn how to identify problems
they have never dealt with before. This skill is much needed now and will
continue to be needed in the future.
Why entrepreneurship education Important?

• Help students become resilient: Sometimes grades, socioeconomic status,


and intelligence don’t accurately predict a student’s chances of having long-
term success.
• Becoming an entrepreneur is an ongoing journey filled with ups and
downs, even when the economy is thriving.
• Teaching entrepreneurship encourages students to figure out their
passions and how to be persistent when pursuing their interests.
• Students also learn how to stick with a business idea, or similar project,
especially when times are tough.
• Encourage students to make the world a better place: Entrepreneurs
constantly look to solve problems and meet the needs with the help of their
products and services.
• Entrepreneurship can start with a desire to make money and live a
better life
