Why Every School in America Should Teach Entrepreneurship:
Let’s begin state and national discussions about owner-entrepreneurship education, focused on four goals:
- Engage young people in school by teaching math, reading, writing and communication within the motivating context of starting and operating a small business.
- Teach young people about the market economy and how ownership leads to wealth creation.
- Encourage an entrepreneurial mindset so our youth will succeed whether they pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or become entrepreneurs.
- Make young people financially literate so they can save and invest to achieve goals like home ownership and retirement.
