Enterprise Education – A history lesson

•TVEI, local level partnerships, EBLOs, TECs etc

•provision was inconsistent and not backed up by statutory entitlement except through EIU

•EIU was a cross curricular element of the original National Curriculum

How did we get here?

Enterprise Education – A history lesson

HM Treasury’s view (late 1990s)

•rates of entrepreneurial activity in the UK remained moderate by international standards

•an environment that encourages enterprise and supports people who take opportunities and risks was a crucial ingredient of productivity improvement

So they wanted to

•improve support for small and new business

•promote a step change in the UK’s enterprise culture

How did we get here?

Enterprise Education – A history lessonDavies Review•findings shaped the current focus of WRL and enterprise education•was concerned with the employability of young people•identified and defined 3 key components of employability (enterprise capability, financial capability, economic and business understanding)•asked Ofsted to pose a new question to schools – ‘How well does the school prepare young people for employability and work (including their enterprise capability)?’

10

How did we get here?

Enterprise Education – A history lesson

Enterprise Education supports the development of the knowledge and understanding, skills and attributes that young people require to thrive in their future working lives.

Enterprise Education involves the development of Davis’ employability components

Enterprise capability — the ability to handle uncertainty and respond positively to change, to create and implement new ideas and ways of doing things, to make reasonable risk/reward assessments and act upon them in one's personal and working life

11

How did we get here?Enterprise Education – A history lessonEnterprise education involves Enterprise capability supported by:•Financial capability — the ability to manage one's own finances and to become questioning and informed consumers of financial services •Business and economic understanding — the ability to understand the business context and make informed choices between alternative uses of scarce resources

Effective enterprise learning takes place in an environment — a school, community or business setting — where young people are given autonomy to tackle relevant problems or issues that involve an element of risk and uncertainty about final outcomes, as well as reward for their successful resolution

Why are we bothering to go anywhere?In times of change it is the learners who inherit the earth while the learned are beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Alvin Toffler

He also wrote a book called ‘Future Shock’ the central theme of which is about the impact on society of too much change in too short a period of time.
