What is Education for Enterprise?
Education for enterprise provides an opportunity for students to do the following within the context of curriculum learning:
- apply their wider school learning in real life situations
- make decisions about their learning rather than having decisions made for them
- have opportunities to exercise individual and group initiative, inside and outside the traditional boundaries of schooling
- exercise personal and shared responsibility, rather than being dependent on the teacher to solve problems and resolve issues
- develop and apply knowledge and skills that will underpin successful transitions to participation in economic and social life.
Goal
The goal of this initiative is to develop students who are enterprising in their core learning areas (such as English/te reo Māori, health and physical education, mathematics, science, social sciences, technology, and the arts) and in their co-curricular activities. Education for enterprise adds value to school-based learning as a context and approach to learning, rather than as an additional programme.
