9. Best practice reports, conferences with stakeholders,
national reports and surveys consistently point to two
facts:
o Entrepreneurial learning belongs at all age levels and
in all subject areas in the school system, and
o Teacher training is a success factor.
Entrepreneurial learning approaches integrated into
initial teacher training & ongoing professional
development schemes.
Why Entrepreneurial
learning?

10. What about national strategies?
Entrepreneurship education is on the agenda in
almost all countries, either under development, or
already articulated as:
o a specific & separate strategy, or
o embedded within wider strategies
What’s the case in your
country?

11. Entrepreneurship education in EU -
political signals
……Support for entrepreneurship has never been more
important than it is now.
……Indeed, besides contributing to the creation of social
enterprise and business start-ups, entrepreneurship education
will make young people more employable ….
………Therefore investing in entrepreneurship education is one
of the highest return investments that Europe can make
……..research shows that pupils and students who have
participated are 3 to 6 times more likely to start a business at
some point later in life than those who do not receive
entrepreneurship education.
