One of the most frustrating aspects of the formal educational system (among many) was not encouraging children to take matters in to their own hands when it came to their careers.

The schooling system was set up so that people would enter professions, gain a set salary and pay in to the system instead of encouraging opportunities to capitalize on great business ideas. In an era where layoffs occur on a quicker basis and organizational restructuring are more common with jobs being replaced due to rapid technological advances, entrepreneurship in the schooling system must be encouraged.

It progresses society, provides jobs and improves economic well-being.

The formal educational system also lacked in providing the tools and resources towards personal finances that also come into play when starting any business. It also could derail from any action being taken whatsoever.

Entrepreneurship is as celebrated today, as it is ever. Yet many conflicting reports have cited to it being at the lowest levels in over three decades.

This is a very difficult “subject” to teach, because there are no theories, practicalities, nor any linear straight-forward way to build an actual sustainable business.
