Teach us to fish and farm: model for entrepreneurship education in Ghana

Ghanaians live in a world of change. The challenge to schools is to equip young people to deal with this change in new and novel ways. The basis of this change is entrepreneurship education. The aim of this conceptual paper is to provide a model for entrepreneurship education for schools in Ghana. The paper proposes what schools must teach. It also propose show schools must create conducive teaching and learning environments to facilitate and promote entrepreneurial behaviour. Further, it proposes show teachers must implement the curriculum and how they must assess learning outcomes. The paper concludes that in the proposed model, the school becomes a place for experimenting. In addition, the school becomes a place to develop and take part in project-based learning environments. Finally, the school becomes a place where entrepreneurship education is part of organisational life and culture and where everyone behaves entrepreneurially.
