a. Often confused with the business course
Entrepreneurship education: A school of values, mindset,
behavior , attitude, discipline, character, entrepreneurial
competencies that can be taught and caught;
authentic perspective of wealth and wealth creation ;
perspective of an employer, owner and change maker who
makes things happen

b. Prevalent traditional teaching; mostly disengaged with student
ventures
A unique and distinct curriculum that should develop the
abstract and theoretical alongside the practical and
experiential; outcomes based learning; integrated; as
running case, in a figure-it-out, hands-on learning
environment ; repeatedly included as top priority of the
21st century lifelong learning achievement goal.
(The measures of its outcomes are: a) behavioral, attitudinal and transformational change; b) the skills and
competencies of identifying opportunities; c) preparation of a business plan through series of incubation
process as the students’ idea takes a new form and value that fuels an increased entrepreneurial intention;
d) continuing towards scaling and accelerating the venture to commercialization leading to job and wealth
creation; that are e) sustainable and enduring)

c. Dearth of competent educators who are not entrepreneurs but
teaching students to become one; practitioners , experts and
entrepreneurs who are said to be the best role models/teachers
…but generally has no time to provide in this highly engaging,
personalized teaching and learning journey
Differentiated curriculum, needs and requirements;
pedagogical approaches unique to entrepreneurship; the
need for committed, competent, skillful educators and
practitioners; and teaching models that works.

d. Dearth of motivational and other teaching materials for teens;
prevalence of materials and programs are mostly outside of formal
education; with adult orientation who are would-be or existing
entrepreneurs
Its course management should consider:
• the developmental stage and maturation level of
students who are no longer children, but still minors,
and at the same time are not yet adults aspiring to
become entrepreneurs; and other
• dynamic learning interventions to support academic
requirements

e. Viewed as an expensive course - where money spent for product
and venture development that cannot be recoup, is a waste of
money and senseless to pursue
Entrepreneurship is an education where students learn to
bootstrap and make good use of whatever limited
resources they have; become resourceful and develop
more qualities and traits that mints ones character,
values, integrity, creativity, inventiveness and more.

f. Lack or limited support system, resources, school infrastructure,
including financial resources in various levels of venture
development process
Entrepreneurship in Philippine Higher Education as defined in
CMO 17, contains the guidelines in curriculum,
administrative and management systems, infrastructures
and requirements that encourages a supportive and
enabling academic environment that promotes an
entrepreneurial culture, beyond entrepreneurial
intentions; and entrepreneurial qualities, that are enduring
(schools should purposely aim for)

g. The top-down approach of traditional education management
and its process, with its inherent strengths does not necessarily
work effectively with the nature and discipline in entrepreneurship
culture; thus, makes it wanting for a:
Dynamic and enabling environment; a support system that
provides structure and infrastructure for:
Venture exploration, development , testing, operation, launching,
and its acceleration for commercialization
in this environment of change.
