TEACH STUDENTS TO THINK LIKE ENTREPRENEURS

Students today are expected to initiate, adapt, and deliver rather than wait for instructions. Academic programmes are also being restructured to incorporate entrepreneurial thinking into the core of higher education.

"Over the past decade, there’s been a defined shift towards including courses that talk about design thinking, creativity, and entrepreneurship,” said Santosh Gopalkrishnan, Head of Academics at Symbiosis International University, Dubai.

Symbiosis Dubai uses project-based learning to build real-world problem-solving skills. “Project-based learning is one of the key ways we bring entrepreneurship into the classroom. Students work in groups on real-world social problems,” Gopalkrishnan said.

Speakers at Edufair highlighted that entrepreneurship is not only about launching companies. It's about taking ownership and leading efforts that create value, in any context.
