Education 4 Enterprise      

 


E4E is an approach to teaching and learning, rather than an additional programme, that adds value to school based learning right across the curriculum.
 
Meaningful learning opportunities for students are created by developing partnerships with business and community organisations. Students are engaged in relevant and authentic learning that allows them to apply enterprise skills and attributes to all areas of the curriculum.
 
As students embrace the rapid changes in knowledge creation and technological innovation of the 21st century, there is a need for students to develop the skills and enterprising attributes that will enable them to successfully manage personal, community, business and employment opportunities.
 
E4E sits right alongside the vision and principles from The Ministry of Education's New Zealand Curriculum with activities focusing on the Curriculum's Values and Key Competencies.

 

E4E is about giving young people the opportunity to develop the skills, competencies, understandings and attributes which will equip them to be innovative and to identify, create, initiate and successfully manage personal, business, work and community opportunities.
 

A key feature of E4E is the emphasis it places on schools to develop meaningful partnerships with individuals, businesses and community groups outside of school.
 

E4E is a new direction for schools to support learning in the 21st century, focusing on developing in students the capacity to learn, through enterprising ways of teaching and learning.
 

Results from pilot projects in different countries as well as in four areas of New Zealand, show the impact enterprise teaching and learning is having on both teachers and students.
