Entrepreneurship Education: A road to success 4 The impact of institutional changes prioritising entrepreneurship education 4.1 Introduction This section describes the effects of entrepreneurship education actions taken and implemented at institutional level by schools (primary and secondary education as well as vocational education and training) and universities. Evidence was drawn from institutional initiatives that were realised with the means and resources of the school or university. In other examples, schools and universities took part in governmental programmes and developed projects and initiatives based on the programme objectives. Prioritising entrepreneurship education Entrepreneurship education actions at institutional level cover a broad range of interventions of different scale. Actions taken by institutions can include:  giving entrepreneurship education a high significance in their objectives and mission;  establishing a horizontal approach which embeds entrepreneurship across curricula;  establishing a subject-specific approach which embeds entrepreneurship in subjects such as economy, business studies, social sciences etc.;  modernising the culture of teaching and learning by using innovative and participatory methods which support entrepreneurial skills (for example, self-regulated learning, team work, project based learning, problem- solving under real life conditions, simulation, and learning by doing);  carrying out specific entrepreneurship projects or implementing ad-hoc entrepreneurship education actions;  establishing greater cooperation with stakeholders from the world of business;  providing training and information to teachers and other staff; and  providing support to students with entrepreneurial intentions. The section presents evidence of impacts at the individual level (students, teachers, and other staff members), institutional level, the economy and the society. Table 4.1 gives brief characteristics of the four cases that provided evidence to inform this section. 44
