The present educational scenario in developing countries has limited scope for preparing the young masses to overcome the problems of unemployment and poverty. The creativity and interest of the young minds need to be nurtured through an appropriate system of education. There must be a curriculum that can be introduced to overcome some of the limitations in the existing education system. Entrepreneurship can be identified as one of the important components of economic development. Focus on entrepreneurship education can be facilitated through partnership, policies and introduction of appropriate curriculum. The paper has focused on the relevance of including entrepreneurship in teaching and learning at primary, secondary and higher education levels in Indian context.

Abstract


The present educational scenario in developing countries has limited scope for preparing the young masses to overcome the problems of unemployment and poverty. The creativity and interest of the young minds need to be nurtured through an appropriate system of education. There must be a curriculum that can be introduced to overcome some of the limitations in the existing education system. Entrepreneurship can be identified as one of the important components of economic development. Focus on entrepreneurship education can be facilitated through partnership, policies and introduction of appropriate curriculum. The paper has focused on the relevance of including entrepreneurship in teaching and learning at primary, secondary and higher education levels in Indian context.
