Research in Education Conference: Methods of Teaching

Course Details

Research in Education Conference - Methods of Teaching

Conference Objective

This training course focuses on entrepreneurship education and training at the Further Education and Training (FET) level in a national development context. We are of the opinion that entrepreneurship education and training (of necessity) must fulfil a primary role in preparing our youth for their future.

Evidence from elsewhere, in particularly industrialized countries, indicates that entrepreneurship education and training at the school level play important roles in the contribution to economic growth.

Experts in the field of entrepreneurship believe that the contribution of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to the growth of a country can be much higher if entrepreneurship education is implemented at the school level. Entrepreneurship is now one of the courses taught at the tertiary level.

However, our research clearly showed that various problems in schools hinder the effective implementation of entrepreneurship education, some of which are poorly trained educators and a lack of adequate resources. Better entrepreneurship education could make a significant contribution to job creation and ultimately to poverty alleviation. This program will brainstorm with International experts on the way forward.
