They should be ready for the wide range of possibilities ahead of them, including working for others, entrepreneurship, and contributing to their communities. All of these options require a depth of knowledge in their chosen discipline, as well as creative problem-solving skills, leadership abilities, experience working on effective teams, and adaptability in an ever-changing environment. It\u2019s no coincidence that these are the same capabilities that employers say they want in college graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> These skills are the cornerstones of entrepreneurship education, which explicitly prepares students to identify and address challenges and opportunities. Therefore, along with teaching traditional subjects, such as science, grammar, and history, that provide foundational knowledge, it\u2019s imperative that we teach students to be entrepreneurial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurship education prepares students to identify and address challenges and opportunities. There are many who believe that entrepreneurship is an inborn trait that can\u2019t be taught. This is simply not true. As with all skills, from math to music, learning to be entrepreneurial builds upon inborn traits. For example, learning to read and write taps in a baby\u2019s natural ability to babble. Each baby learns to harness those noises to form words, connect words to compose sentences, and combine sentences to craft stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurship can be taught using a similar scaffolding of skills, building upon our natural ability to imagine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Imagination<\/strong> is envisioning things that don\u2019t exist.<\/li><li><strong>Creativity<\/strong> is applying imagination to address a challenge.<\/li><li><strong>Innovation<\/strong> is applying creativity to generate unique solutions.<\/li><li><strong>Entrepreneurship<\/strong> is applying innovations, scaling the ideas by inspiring others\u2019 imagination.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this framework, educators at all levels can help young people engage with the world around them and envision what might be different; experiment with creative solutions to the problems they encounter; hone their ability to reframe problems in order to come up with unique ideas; and then work persistently to scale their ideas by inspiring others to support their effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if there is no space to allot entrepreneurship as a separate paper, then it can be merged with subjects like economics, history, technical n, comparative studies, business education or psychology. Integrating entrepreneurship in these main stream subjects will allow students to understand the same and take up later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning entrepreneurship from school level will allow students also instil the following traits at a young stage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Patience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Business is not a one-day phenomenon. It happens over time, grows over decades or more. The entrepreneur needs to hold on their patience and be with the business all throughout. Learning entrepreneurship from school, will allow one to get accustomed to the long time span that one requires to invest to establish a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Flexibility &amp; Adaptability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Running business is not a smooth flow of events. It has good times, bad phases and so on. How to survive at the best and worst of business can also be learnt from an early stage, if entrepreneurship is introduced in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Desire to Achieve<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As school is too nascent a stage, students might change their decision of being an entrepreneur and opt for some other profession. But, it\u2019s the \u2018hunger to achieve\u2019, the take away from entrepreneurial classes that will help them earn success in any other profession.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurship education does not just benefit those entering the fields of science, technology, and business. Students of art, music, and humanities can develop their imagination and learn how to apply creative thinking skills to real-world problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given our current situation knowing that your colleagues or employees are best suited for this new scenario we find ourselves in.
