Entrepreneur first , Teacher second
2. WHAT IS A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR
“[an] individual with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. A
social entrepreneur is ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and
offering new ideas for wide-scale change. Rather than leaving societal needs to the
government or business sectors, a social entrepreneur finds what is not working and
solves the problem by changing the system, spreading the solution, and persuading
entire societies to take new leaps."
