Personal qualities and attitudes increase the probability of a person seeing opportunities and doing somethingabout them. Work on entrepreneurship in education must primarily place emphasis on development ofpersonal qualities and attitudes. In that way a basis is laid for later utilization of knowledge and skills in activevalue creation.Knowledge and skills concerning what must be done to establish a new enterprise, and how to be successfulin developing an idea into a practical, goal-oriented enterprise.In order to be able to concentrate on the objectives of entrepreneurship in the education system, there are four factorsthat apply to all levels of the education system:1. Entrepreneurship as an integrated part of instruction: Entrepreneurship must be defined as an objective ineducation, and be included in the instruction strategy.2. Collaboration with the local community: Instruction in entrepreneurship prerequires close collaboration betweenschools and the local business and social sector. There is therefore a need for more arenas for contactbetween educational institutions and various players in society. In such arenas educational institutions andthe local social and business sectors will get to know one another better, and cultural barriers may be dismantled.This will result in mutual benefit inasmuch as it will increase the quality and relevance of education andstrengthen recruitment to the local business sector and development of competence.3. Teachers’ competence: Teachers are important role models. A positive attitude among young people inschools toward entrepreneurship, innovation and reorientation requires that teachers have knowledge of this.It is therefore important to focus on entrepreneurship in teacher training, and also provide courses in competencedevelopment to working teachers.4. The attitudes of school-owners and school managers: School-owners must follow up the focus on entrepreneurshipin curricula and management documents, and build competence and insight among school managers.It is important that educational institutions are given legitimacy and motivation to work on entrepreneurship.School managers must be able to follow up, encourage and motivate teachers to be good role modelsand disseminators of knowledge. Both school-owners and school managers must take the initiative in collaboratingwith the business sector and other agencies in the municipality.Developing Entrepreneurial attitudes and Entrepreneurship-competence has to be a task for ALL areas in everylocal society.21Entrepreneurship Education in Europe: Fostering Entrepreneurial Mindsets through Education and Learning
Including entrepreneurship in national or regional curriculaENTREPRENEURSHIP IN SECONDARY EDUCATION IN IRELANDFiona Kindlon, Regional Development Officer, Second Level Support Service, Ireland.In Ireland, Enterprise Education has been included in the curriculum of Senior Cycle Programmes including TransitionYear, Leaving Certificate Applied and the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme. Students engaging in theseprogrammes have an opportunity to consider enterprise in the wider context of personal, community, social andbusiness enterprise. Enterprise Education in these programmes is frequently explored through participation in arange of activities including a combination of classroom teaching, analysis of case studies, out of schoolinvestigations and invited visitors to the classroom. Students are also encouraged to plan, set up and run their ownenterprising projects as vehicles of learning. Examples of enterprising projects include: setting up a mini company tosell a product or provide a service, a charity fund-raiser, publishing a newsletter and organising a school event. Theform of enterprise project selected will depend on the aptitude and interests of students, as well as the resourcesavailable to them in school and in the locality.The key elements of successful Enterprise Education Programmes in Second Level Schools in Ireland include teachingmethodologies utilised, training for teachers of Enterprise Education, resources which support the teaching ofEnterprise Education and the importance of developing links with the local community and with the business world,in addition to the active participation of business partners as mentors and advisors to students engaging inEnterprise Education Programmes in Irish schools.As regards Mini Company Programmes in Ireland, the ‘Get up and Go’ programme has become the most widely usedstudent company programme in schools, offering mini companies as part of the Transition Year Programme. The ‘Getup and Go’ Mini Company Programme is a curricular activity, which may run as a 10-week module, but best practicewould be a full year.22Entrepreneurship Education in Europe: Fostering Entrepreneurial Mindsets through Education and Learning
