  • Country Profiles
    CHAPTER 2.1 In an increasingly interdependent and globalized world, countries that are able to compete and effectively partic- ipate in the global economy are those with large and Reforming Higher Education: rapidly expanding stocks of human capital. The impor- tance of education, especially higher education, for Access, Equity, and Financing Africa’s economic growth has been highlighted by the recent World Bank publication Accelerating Catch Up: in Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, 1 Tertiary Education for Growth in Africa. Unfortunately, 2.1: Reforming Higher Education South Africa, and Tunisia very little work has been done to study Africa’s tertiary education sector—including elements such as enrollment trends, relevance, efficiency, adequacy, management, and KWABENA GYIMAH-BREMPONG, University of Southern Florida financing. PETER ONDIEGE, African Development Bank The objective of this chapter is to analyze systems of higher education in Africa using five African countries— Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, and Tunisia— as case studies. Other countries that were originally meant to be included—Mauritius, Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria—were excluded because of inadequate coverage in the initial stages. Specifically, the chapter analyzes current enrollment trends, accessibility and equity, governance, quality and relevance, financing, university-industry linkages (UILs), and entrepreneurship education in tertiary education curricula. The idea is to look at what works well and what does not, to consider what challenges need to be confronted, and to discuss lessons learned and the way forward for reforming tertiary education in Africa. 39 Although African countries have generally spent relatively large proportions of their national resources on the production of education, the stock of human capital with tertiary education in Africa continues to be very low compared with other regions of the world.

  • Promotion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship : Continental Model
    Promotion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Continental Model Statistics relative to education for entrepreneurship draw on responses to the questionnaire sent by the ‘Polifonia’ Project’s Working Group 4 to European conservatoires in January 2013. 28 answers for the Continental model. 1) Education for Entrepreneurship * Primary and Secondary Schools Entrepreneurship education is not a priority in primary and secondary schools, although at times it is taught through a cross-curricular approach. Only a few countries offer entrepreneurship training as a separate subject. There is no coordinated strategy of implementing entrepreneurship courses in education, although some governments are encouraging the development of an entrepreneurial spirit. Examples of Good Practice - The Netherlands, Education Networks Enterprise 2009: subsidies support initiatives to implement entrepreneurship through partnerships involving primary, secondary schools and local businesses. - Austria: Junior Enterprise Austria (part of the network Junior Achievement) offers specific programs for entrepreneurship education, including the creation of real companies as a school project. * Universities All countries recognize entrepreneurship education in their steering documents, even if the exact term «entrepreneurship» is not always used and understood in the same way. In most countries, entrepreneurship as a separate subject (Germany, The Netherlands) is either compulsory or optional. Examples of Good Practice: Degree Programs Specializing in Entrepreneurship - Austria : 11 Master and 8 Bachelor level programs - France : 34 Master level programs - Germany : Over 39 Master level degree programs - Netherlands : 13 Bachelor level programs - Switzerland : 13 Master and 2 Bachelor level programs * Conservatoires 64% of conservatoires think their region promotes the development of innovative and entrepreneurial projects in the higher education or cultural sector.

  • Year in Review
    YEAR IN REVIEW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ABOUT US “ We believe that we must do everything we can to help young people move successfully into the economy.” – Jo Deblaere, Chairman, JA Europe, COO, Accenture Mission We inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Values We believe in the boundless potential of young people. We share their passion for excellence, respect their talents and creativity, celebrate their honesty and integrity, harness their desire for collaboration, and create opportunities for hands-on learning. JA Europe is the European Regional Operating Centre for JA Worldwide®. “ Addressing youth unemployment depends on how many young people have access to entrepreneurship education and the quality of cooperation between the education and business communities.” – Caroline Jenner, CEO, JA Europe FOREWORD Helping entrepreneurs to stimulate our economy As President of the European Commission, I am determined to work to deliver jobs, growth and investment. The kind of growth that won’t be built on a pile of debt for the next generation to pay off; but based on the “virtuous triangle” of investment, structural reform and fiscal responsibility. I know that – in practice – it is often young, innovative enterprises that create jobs: the smaller businesses who are the backbone of our economy. And I want to support you. Jean-Claude Juncker, Entrepreneurs in Europe already benefit from the EU single market—offering President of the European the freedom to travel or operate across borders. They also benefit from specific Commission programmes like Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs. But I want to do more. The online world — the source of much of today’s innovation and entrepreneurialism —still faces many barriers, from copyright rules to roaming charges: I want to bring down those barriers for a Digital Single Market.

  • Study of the Increased Future Employability of Students Working for Junior Enterprises
    Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Master of Science in Management Engineering Master’s thesis: Study of the increased future employability of students working for Junior Enterprises In collaboration with JADE – the European Confederation of Junior Enterprises Supervisor: Eulalia Griful Ponsati Candidate: Mona Herter March 2017 This thesis was elaborated in the framework of the double degree program Master of Science in Management Engineering between the two universities Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain) and Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy). Due to the different regulations in the universities, there are slight differences in the formalities and the title of the present work. The title at Politecnico di Torino is “Analysis of students’ intentions towards entrepreneurship influenced by the experience of working for a Junior Enterprise” and supervisors are Prof. Elisa Ughetto and Prof. Paolo Landoni. MONA MARIE HERTER - 2 - ABSTRACT The present thesis contains an analysis of students’ intentions towards entrepreneurship and their increased employability influenced by the experience of working for a Junior Enterprise. It is based on an empirical study about the identity of members of the European Junior Enterprise network (JADE) as well as a literature research among academic studies and several studies conducted by the European Commission about Entrepreneurship in higher education. Key findings are the positively influenced entrepreneurial intentions of students and the increased feeling of preparedness for the job market thanks to their work for a Junior Enterprise. Keywords: EMPLOYABILITY, JUNIOR ENTERPRISE, JE, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, EUROPE, JADE, JUNIOR ENTREPRENEUR, STUDENTS, EUROPEAN COMMISSION, EUROPEAN CONFEDERATION OF JUNIOR ENTERPRISES . MONA MARIE HERTER - 3 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The traditional formal education system is valuable and highly important for the learning of technical skills and knowledge.
