Teaching kids how to be entrepreneurs

I think the best way to teach kids how to be successful in their life is to teach them to prepare themselves to become entreprenuers.

Schools in Malaysia (don't know about the rest of the world) do not encourage thinking amongst kids. They are spoon fed with all the indformation - and as a result these kids know nothing about business.

For those who are born into business oriented family - well, lucky them! those who are not - not so lucky.

Schools should teach the subject, after all these kids are either going to work for a company (profit or non profit) or create their own path by owning businesses.

Why do we still have to follow the industrial age style of education while we are in digital, service- oriented age?

We should revamp the education system and empower the kids to learn how to be entrepreneurs early in their life. teach them real life lessons.

Yep, I've heard the Ministry of Entrepreneur through some State Economic Development Authorities are encouraging kids to get involved in business..i salute that. but the Ministry of Education must work hand in hand with Ministry of Entreprenuers to develop new sylabus to incorpate business learning.

Must be implement fast. otherwise other developing / developed countries around us will dominate the region, we Malaysians will be left behind!
