, QUESTION 1:
Teachers are often asked why they must teach entrepreneurship to all learners if South Africa does
not need all learners to be an entrepreneur.
Why do you think it is important to teach entrepreneurship at school? Give five reasons for your
answer.
The main goal of entrepreneurship education is to assist students acquire practical skills that will enable them
to live extraordinary lives in a rapidly changing world.
Five Benefits of Entrepreneurship Education in school:
• Prepare learners for an unpredictable and uncertain future:
We are in a time of unimaginable technology and geopolitical change.
Students of today must navigate a complicated future of global, social, and environmental challenges.
The "Future of Jobs Survey" by the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2055, 50% of all current
labour tasks could be automated, giving rise to whole new positions, responsibilities, and problems
for the workforce. As a result, we are unable to precisely foresee what our students will need to know
after graduating. But students who get education with an entrepreneurial orientation, develop vital
life skills that will aid them in navigating this unpredictable future.
These abilities include the ability to solve problems, work well in a team, show empathy and accept
failure as a necessary step in the growth process.
• Leave room for creativity and collaboration:
There are less possibilities for students to innovate and work and collaborate with others, as
standardised testing has become the norm in public schools today. Creativity, innovation and
teamwork are emphasised in entrepreneurship education. These qualities are highly regarded by the
best universities in the world and will benefit students well after their academic careers.
• Teach problem identification:
Prior to learning how to solve problems, students must first learn to recognise them.
While problem-solving has been taught in schools for decades, problem identification has not.
Traditionally, situations that have been clearly described by someone else are used to teach students
how to solve problems. Problems in the actual world can only be resolved after they have been
accurately recognised and described. Children are taught problem-solving skills through
entrepreneurship education, which will be very helpful in the world of tomorrow.
• Develop Grit:
The research demonstrates that the trait that is classified as "grit" does not correlate with academic
performance, IQ, or socioeconomic level. "Grit" is the combination of enthusiasm and persistent
tenacity used to attain long-term goals. More enthusiasm and persistent endurance are needed for
the difficult and uncertain entrepreneurial path than for most other endeavours. Because of this, an
entrepreneurship-focused programme is perfect for helping the pupils gain grit.
• Make the world a better place:
With the aid of their goods and services, entrepreneurs aim to address demands, eliminate problems,
and lessen pain points. They have an innate desire to change the world for the better. Students that
take part in entrepreneurship programmes not only become prepared to build their own futures, but
also to change the world.
