Their aim
• participating in mini-companies:– Have higher school motivation, – go to school happier and more often (even when they are
sick)– Improve their overall performance.
• Entrepreneurship education:– Has positive impact on learning in other subjects– supports development of all key competences for lifelong
learning.• Higher exposure is correlated with better results
Impact on students
• gain a closer, more respectful relationship with the students• appreciate the pedagogical advantages of this way of learning. • BUT:
– high-quality teacher training is needed – Support from the school leadership and the possibility to
interact and reflect on their practice
Impact on teachers
• Making entrepreneurship education a priority at the national level and creating win-win solutions to strengthen the cooperation between the education system and the business sector helps in raising awareness, highlighting the value of entrepreneurship education and supporting its uptake.
• Cooperation between education system and labour market needs to be strengthened. More support and acknowledgement from education ministries on the value of entrepreneurship education would push it forward faster in Europe.
Support from government and business sector
• Happy about the opportunity their children have to gain transversal skills and learn in a more practical and non-theoretical way.
• If properly informed about the learning process that entrepreneurship education promotes, parents can act as an important driver for entrepreneurship education in school.
• Final report: published in January 2018
