Case study: Enterprise education

How can schools promote entrepreneurial skills among its students? Fathima Anwari discusses some of the strategies used at Mount Grace School

 

At Mount Grace School, we have always recognised the importance of encouraging entrepreneurship and promote this through a range of activities, which we try to embed across the curriculum. 

Students have taken part in Dragon’s Den-style competitions and we have also run the Young Enterprise programme. More recently, we introduced the Apps for Good scheme, which enables students to design and potentially launch an app to solve a problem or issue that they care about.

Activities like these are particularly important at this level to encourage students to think about their prospective career paths and to help them discover where their passions and strengths lie.
