Educational Entrepreneurship

Course Description:

Much of the scholarship on entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship blurs the distinction between innovators and entrepreneurs, who share many characteristics. For this purpose, this course will define education entrepreneurs quite narrowly as a rare breed of innovator whose characteristics and activities may lead to the transformation -not merely the slight improvement of the public and private sector education systems.

Hence, this course primarily covers the topics which are important to understand (1) the qualities that define entrepreneurs in general, (2) those that distinguish social entrepreneurs, and (3) those that make social entrepreneurs such a potentially powerful force within the public and private education today.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):

After the completion of this course, learners will be able to learn:

1. definition of education and the four Pillars of Education;
2. definition of Educational Entrepreneurship (E-ship) in the education system;
3. detail reasoning and background of E-ship & attributes of E-ship;
4. definition of entrepreneurship and characteristics of an entrepreneur;
5. social Dimensions of Entrepreneurship

Why E-Ship Course?

Sustainable transformations of public and private education require the work of other important change agents -including “intrapreneurs,” who create new entrepreneurial approaches within a system. Educational entrepreneurship is nothing but the creation of intrapreneurship among the leaders or teachers or instructors at all levels of education systems.

Hence, this course will empower current and aspiring leaders in the education sector with the critical academic knowledge, cross-sector tools, business skills, and entrepreneurial mindset necessary to create innovative solutions in the education system.
