Teaching Entrepreneurship

Below is an interesting initiative but the practical implementation might be another issue

and the last paragraph of this announcement shows part of the problem - 'state order for training such workers'. Rather than giving students info on the demand for specific skills and let students make decisions, the government will 'order' the training of workers...

Ukrainian schoolchildren to study principles of entrepreneurship

KYIV, February 1 /UKRINFORM/. The Ukrainian government has ordered the Education and Science Ministry to work out within three months the question of introducing at schools the study of a new discipline entitled "The Principles of Entrepreneurship," UKRINFORM has reported, citing the osvita.org.ua educational portal.

The statement reads that the ministry should also put forwards proposals on a plan of measures on the development of the system of training qualified workers from schoolchildren and issuing respective certificates to them.

The Labor and Social Policy Ministry and other executive government agencies were ordered to submit to the Economy Ministry each year reports on the labor market's demand for qualified workers with the goal of forming state order for training such workers.
