IIE ventured into entrepreneurship education for schools

Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE) Guwahati a premium national institution on entrepreneurship under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India has ventured into entrepreneurship education for schools.

IIE has joined hands with Entreprovers an online education organization to deliver entrepreneurship education to schools situated in different parts of the country.

Dr. Lalit Sharma, Director IIE said, “We still have lack of trained entrepreneurship teachers across the country, especially at school level, and IIE would like to fill this gap by reaching out directly to school students through online platform and train them in the area of entrepreneurship, as many school students take due interest in the subject but lack adequate guidance. With right guidance and mentoring many of them can make it their career in the long run.”

The first program for 9th standard which started on October 9, is expected to end in the first week of January 2023.

The following schools are participating in this first batch: Podar International School Navi Mumbai, TCV School Mysore, Namisharanya School, Bhavnagar and Doon Convent School, Haldwani.

At the end of course an examination would be conducted online to assess the performance of students. The students who are able to secure 50 percent marks in the exam and also have 75 percent attendance in the course will be eligible to receive certificate issued jointly by Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship Guwahati and Entreprovers.
