Historically? We thought teaching business and finance was enough We neglected to make distinctions between creativity-based thinking and analytical thinking We limited our evaluation to business start ups and easy measurements “In policy and institutional support terms, the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) stands out…” European Commission (2014) Final Report of the Thematic Working Group on Entrepreneurship Education, p 37 “Most experienced…the world’s first national-level guidelines on quality assurance in this field.” Guangming Daily (STATE NEWSPAPER) – China, 16/2/16

This is why… The OECD developed the ‘Two I’ lenses on assessment, it asks, “Does the assessment look at Implementation or Innovation?” http://www.oecd.org/cfe/leed/skills-for-entrepreneurship.htm Supported by the World Bank, all Macedonian Schools have compulsory Innovation and Entrepreneurship – 2,500 teachers have undertaken training in these approaches. The EU’s “Sense of Initiative and Entrepreneurship: A Framework for all Citizens” was launched on 10 June – as part of 21Century Skills agenda

IX Grade Primary School Being Entrepreneurial Innovation – Who am I and who is an entrepreneur? Context – What’s out there? Business – How do we create value? Finance – How does money, buying and selling work? Communication – What have I learned and where could it take me? Using the themes
23
Innovation – who will speak to us who is Creative and Innovative? Context – who will speak to us who understands community, social and business needs? Business – who will speak to us who has an interesting approach / can explain why people buy things? Finance – who will speak to us that can help us to understand money matters? Communication – who will speak to us who promotes, advertises and promotes ideas to others? Using the themes
