From Dream to Reality

The Nordic Council of Ministers has been working in stages to strengthen the culture of entrepreneurship in education in the Nordic countries. Over time a need has developed for the educational system to prepare pupils and students for a life in which they can actively participate in shaping the future. The competence framework is aimed at a number of stakeholders. It is primarily a tool for teachers and practitioners where they can find competence and learning goals, and didactic principles for teaching entrepreneurship. The document is also aimed at decision-makers who draw up legislation and frames relating to entrepreneurship teaching. The third target group is school leaders who, in their everyday work, provide structures, environments and educational development to ensure that entrepreneurship education becomes an integral part of the activities in primary and secondary schools.
