Entrepreneurs Straight Outta School

Schools motivating students to develop business ideas is nothing new, take for example, school fetes - where students put up their own stalls to sell food, handicrafts and fancy articles – a sort of unofficial business transaction. But, formally incorporating a subject into curriculum that prepares them towards entrepreneurship is definitely a new trend. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has included in its curriculum a subject called ‘Entrepreneurship’ that can be opted by students in Class XI and XII along with any three other electives and a language subject. The Office of the Public Relations Officer at CBSE informs, “As many as 55 schools in Delhi and 648 schools overall offered ‘Entrepreneurship’ in 2016-17. In the current academic year, 13,660 students of class XII have opted for the subject.” The course comprehensively prepares students towards all processes they will have to go through while starting up their own ventures. Some of the components of the subject are - business planning, barriers to entrepreneurship, mobilizing resources, market assessment, funds, taxation, etc. Any entrepreneur can vouch how integral are these concepts while establishing their own business.
