The 2002 report Enterprise and the Economy in Education recognised that efforts to build a deeper and wider entrepreneurial culture must begin in schools. It recommended that all young people should have the opportunity to experience enterprise activity at some time during their school career.
In response the Government announced a new £60 million Enterprise Education entitlement to provide all Key Stage 4 (ages 14 to 16) pupils with the equivalent of five days enterprise learning. This covers innovation, creativity, risk-management and risk-taking, financial and business understanding.
Detailed guidance on encouraging enterprise practice among teachers and pupils can be found on the Enterprise Education for Schools section of the Teachernet website.
