4th Entrepreneurship Education High Level Reflection Panel

Rome 15-16 October 2009

Summary Report

ET 2020 – European cooperation in

education and training (May 09) 4 strategic objectives: Making lifelong learning and mobility a

reality Improving the quality and efficiency of

education & training Promoting equity, social cohesion and

active citizenship Enhancing creativity and innovation,

including entrepreneurship, at all levels of the education system

EE baseline study (1)

Enterprise education is complex – different stakeholders at all levels should work together.

Research shows that enterprise education deters early school leaving.

A cardboard cut-out model of the entrepreneur may discourage broad engagement in entrepreneurship.

Adopt principles of early intervention and prevention. Positive impact of enterprise education on youth at risk of

social exclusion should not be dismissed.

EE baseline study (2)

Cultural context is very important – supportive school, family, friends & community.

Curricular inclusion and statutory enterprise education projects reinforce academic acceptance and strengthen students’ entrepreneurial cognitions.

Achieving massive buy-in from policy-makers, practitioners, researchers and society at large is an urgent task.

EE baseline study (3)

Teachers play a pivotal role Pressing need for concrete examples of how to implement

enterprise in the classroom. Do not evaluate impact on too narrow measures A progression model for a sound enterprise education

policy covers 8 areas: law and policy, teacher training, leadership and school ethos, student learning opportunities, pedagogy, assessment, society and research.

EE baseline study (4)

Flanders’ impact evaluation shows that enterprise education reinforces entrepreneurial intention in terms of feasibility and desirability.

Finland allocates €1.8 million of ESF resources to entrepreneurship education: Approved: €860,000 for 5 national projects Priority 1 “Development of work organisations, the

workforce and enterprises and promoting entrepreneurship”
