Importance of entrepreneur in school curriculum

[BITCOIN4X]

CONCLUSION: World economy can be made better if more job are created. Job creation can be made easy if individuals can creat job for themselves. During this job creation, he/she will still employ some people to his/her organization, therefore helping government to solve part of the problem caused by unemployment.

I agree with your conclusion and that is how important entrepreneurship lessons are taught from school. Unfortunately I've never had much credit in the subject since high school and college, but I don't think that has deterred my interest in owning my own business. I have it even though it's not a skill taught in school and in college. My family's economic demands have fueled my desire to grow financially, and now I can earn there even if it's not much.

My orientation or goal is not to help the government reduce the percentage of unemployed, but the goal is to have better finances to make ends meet and survive inflation.

The problem is, schools are not teaching students how to make money, how to be entrepreneur. I'm not saying that school is bad or we shouldn't educate ourselves. However, what we learn after school is that to get a job, work for a certain company, target a salary and then work many hours which for me is not right. So if us, parents can just guide our children after graduation on how to make money, how to become entrepreneur themselves, then maybe they won't have to find and go to the cycle over and over again, just saying. I know it's going to be hard for us because kids now are different and they have their own decisions which they think is right for them. But at least we should tell them right away the secrets of life or how to grow money in the future.

Schools have actually a lot of theories on how to make money and prosper from an individual’s business, but they just focus on there, not dwelling on practical application. So it’s now the initiative of the parents on how to guide their children on how to be good entrepreneurs in the future, as schools do not just focus on entrepreneurship alone. That is preparing the children to have their own source of living in the future even if they remained unemployed for a certain period of time.

Yes, maybe that is what the school are lacking. Practical works needed to be done so that they can apply learnings, when in college there's an OJT sometimes or most of the time it is not useful because some companies doesn't give students some real life task. Entrepreneurship is an interesting thing that evf everyone should know I think so we can have our basic idea on how business works, how to spend the money with return etc.

I live in a developing country, so these problems are very familiar to us. The problem of work for newly graduated students from universities and institutes is the biggest problem in these countries.

These young people are the future of the nation in every country, but they feel frustrated with real life as soon as they graduate. They do not find an opportunity to work that suits their ambitions, and they are sometimes forced to work in menial jobs to secure their livelihood.

Personally, I became inclined to teach my children a profession and make them engage in work without completing their studies, because university degrees no longer mean anything in this country.

There are many students who have graduated every year from every university but do not have decent jobs and according to their expertise, the chances of new job vacancies from the government are very low, so they have to work hard to earn living expenses. I think every student is obliged to have an education up to university even though he has worked in another place or shop from his parents, because education has the opportunity to develop his own business with his knowledge, so guide children from a young age so that they will determine the desired work goals and their parents must support the child's decision to pursue the ideals of becoming a successful person in the future.

[Natalim]

I cite this example,
there are 1,000 graduates while there are only 100 vacant jobs. For sure it was impossible to put all of these graduates to work and only 10% of them got a job while 90% are unemployed. Now if every year this will happen and no job increase, then more and more unemployed people. That is why we should not rely on finding a job but have also to find ways and use our skills if possible to create money.
And I certainly agree that entrepreneurship is very important in school and should be improved as this serves as their option after finishing studies (or even not) so they could still find another option while waiting for a job.

Entrepreneurship I'm school curriculum is just to imitate business mentality in student so when they graduated from school, they can start there own business and not have to depend our government work or go to look for a job in a company. It aid us to employ ourselves to create jobs for the society with the various knowledge we have acquired so far.

the content of this in school is to educate or impact the knowledge the student to be independent whenever they have graduated from school or university they can work on their own by establishing a little business that will be controlled by them so that is it I see that it is where the thing is coming from.

School is teaching the fundamentals of both basic and advanced knowledge.  The history, use cases, feasibility examples, and many other pieces of knowledge need to learn in order to bolster the effect of the knowledge about entrepreneurship.  As we know Entrepreneurship is not a standalone subject, it is interconnected by different knowledge reasons why there is an auxiliary subject that is coupled with entrepreneurship.  I will never underestimate the power of formal education because it is where the person is prepared to tackle a much wider and advanced field of entrepreneurship.

It is not everyone that can be entrepreneurs but everyone can handle jobs. This is the reason it is so important to fish out those who are willing to take risk and accept the consequences of the risk they took. These people are thought and nutured from early state in the vasities.
Where we always have problems is when the people who have entrepreneurship spirit and not spotted and trained, they will join those who seek for salary jobs and making the majority to be the job seekers and minority to be the job creators. This is where the most imbalance is created in the society.
Entrepreneurship in schools can solve this problem.

I wholeheartedly agree that a school exist to prepare students when they go outside the real world, and not just to prepare another batch of fresh graduate workers to the economy. I also believed that it is beneficial to teach students how to handle themselves if the risks is unmanageable or when the situation is already spiraling out of control and they need to fall back and resort to searching jobs. It is a lot of compromise if we think about only teaching children how to risk and become entrepreneurs. One thing that is a must to be taught for the students is to have an entrepreneurial mindset in which they will be more resourceful and be creative as what the OP says, and that is also the ability to utilize whatever resources available in your area at the same time continuous learning.

[bayudndy]

This problem is quite common with economically developing countries, most graduates find it difficult to find jobs suitable to their positions and fields of study. But also need to look back to see what they have done to lack that job opportunity, I see the problem of capacity in the work of students after graduation in some countries is only at the theoretical level and has no experience. serious in work and that is a big reason why shiper jobs are popular in many developing countries. It can be said that the boom of e-commerce makes it easier for us to get a job, but most of it is unsustainable jobs that are only temporary in nature, quickly solving for expenses in life and recovering. services for the shipping side of the business, the unemployment rate is really large and the imbalance in the value of labor, I see a waste in the way many young people approach their lives, some of the things that I agree with. As someone once said about the boiled frog effect with today's job-seeking mindset, many people really just wait for the opportunity to come and don't go looking for it.

Whatever we learn in school time, its gonna stay with us for life long that's why school curriculum is very prominent for children. If we thought them in basic about entrepreneur in school curriculum helps students develops a range of skills and competencies that are valuable in both their personal and professional lives. It teach them how to think creatively and critically, how to identify and solve problems, and how to take calculated risk. This kind of curriculum make them to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skill.

Introducing entrepreneur to people at early stage (in school) can help to reduce unemployment in the society.

Yes, but for one thing, governments don't usually like citizens to be self-sufficient, which is why entrepreneurship is not taught in primary and secondary education, just as money and personal finance are not usually taught.

On the other hand, many of the so-called entrepreneurs you are referring to are self-employed, which is not a bad thing, but what makes the difference in societies and enriches them is the ability to scale businesses not only to create a job for oneself to subsist.

We cannot forever depend on the curriculum because we must learn to adapt to the surrounding environment when we leave school. After all, the reality is different from what is taught at school.

By getting lessons at school or home, children can be better prepared to face life when they grow up. And it can educate their independence in trying if they decide to do entrepreneurship.

[DevilSlayer]

I remembered when I was senior high school if I'm not mistaken, we have a subject which is entrepreneurship. The main project was to create a product or service in our school and sell it to the students and professors. We did a pretty well job aand we sold out our products, it is a coffee based jelly dessert that cost only $0.40 per small container. For me I learned a lot from the entreprenuership subject on my school and the school system should push it more because some of the topics are already outdated which means that you cannot use the information in the current world. I think it is better if they will revise and improve it for the students to learn more and to become more financial literate.

For me there is really an importance of teaching that subject but it is not enough especially if you want to become really successful. You need to have an experience and you can have it by going out in your comfort zone. If you interview rich people on how they do it, they will tell you that they work hard really hard and study really hard to get experience in the real world. They are aware that the knowledge tha they can get from their experiences is so valuable that can give them huge returns and minimize the potential losses that they may incur.

Agree with these since teaching students that being employee and employed is not the only option that they can have in the future. We should let the new generation to take advantage of them to be critical enough to have an option to be entrepreneur someday because if we gave them the proper basic education regarding it, they could have a second though of what to do after studying. I know it is not for everyone to be an entrepreneur but at least in this way we are giving them option to be one since this really could be a great asset for them and for the future of the society that they live in.

It isn't a story that job opportunities are scarce in some developing countries. Graduate strive to survive after there higher education. Taking Nigeria as an example, it is seen that unemployment rate keep increasing with time. Majority of our graduate strive for living by engaging in commercial transport like okada, tricycle etc. Introducing entrepreneur to people at early stage (in school) can help to reduce unemployment in the society. A cousin of mine that studied accountancy in school is now living his life on music he learnt through an entrepreneural scheme in his secondary school days. Entrepreneur teaches some skills which formal education may not likely teach.  Some of these include:

Entrepreneurship without an environment for entrepeneurs to thrives is useless. Entrepreneurship with start-up loans, grants, fellowships and opportunities for mentorship is useless because their business idea no matter how brilliant it may sound will fold up within 5 years which is the duration given to judge whether a business will be successful or not according to experts.

Some entrepreneurs I know doing business in very hostile environment and are barely making profit, but they have no other place to go if they shut the business down. So, while it is great to teach entrepreneurship in school, there should also be a section where these future entrepreneurs are taught how to lobby government officials so as to pass bills and laws that would favour them and the nation at large.

[_BlackStar]

But not many schools have given lessons on entrepreneurship and tend to follow what has been done for years. If this is the case, parents should teach entrepreneurship to their children so that they can think more creatively and critically.

If at school there is minimal knowledge about entrepreneurship, then parents can ask their children to continue studying in that major. I think there are many universities that develop entrepreneurial talent in their students, but maybe not many students are interested. There is a difference in mindset between businessmen and workers, the way they choose their educational path will determine it.

Many people are attracted to becoming entrepreneurs, but capital is a common problem that keeps the appeal from materializing. I think it is the fate of one person or another, but they all influence each other. Not everyone has to be an entrepreneur because the world needs people in all kinds of other jobs too.

[Agbe]

During my days back then I was always having this mentality that after school is automatic employment to work in my desired office, I never knew life weren't the way I saw it so I was searching putting efforts to have a job.

Story short, I have to change my thinking and my way seeing life, usually not what I studied today in school I have known to be with but rather skill. Just as you have mentioned my Country Nigeria, is place where someone would graduate from a higher school and goes back to start afresh with skill to be able to survive.

It is not only you that was thinking in that direction, many are still thinking in that dimension but irony is way forward. Since when in the elementary school, I was thinking of the working as a self employed company, I promised myself not to work in the government established companies and offices. But even paraventually I worked in government I would use the salary to established my  firm and left that was my plans but after finishing university omen, everything changed overnight, government locked up employment and there was no way to get money to start business. So everything became difficult in life. So I join private school to teach to earn pinut salary but was using it to buy food stuffs. In this present days any young man who has went to university and came back to wait for government work has not plan his or her life well. There is nothing in the government parastatal. They should change their thinkings to be productive way not in reliable thinking

I feel like it is not the entrepreneurship that needs to be taught but more like how losing once or twice could be recovered if you just give it time. Many people think that debt and poverty is a favor thing, it is forever if you accept your bad situation and try to live with it. I had many periods in my life, including these days, where I was in poverty, in the sense that my income is good enough, but my debt increases, but then I pay my debt and start to have a lot more income thanks to that.

So you need to realize, if you use debt and chances a lot in life, sometimes you will get poorer and it will suck and you will spend a few years doing much worse, but then you will start to actually earn a lot more if you hit it right for just once, keep trying until you can succeed, at worst you will retire eventually.
