Scotlands Direction For Enterprise

• So DtS is not about teaching enterprise as a
  subject. Per se rather teachers deliver their
  subject lessons in an enterprising way , that
  contextualises learning , that involves employers
  wherever possible, and make learning relevant in
  the context of the world of work and todays
  global environment.
• DtS Three Years On 2007.

..we are committed to developing Scotlands
worldwide reputation for excellence in
enterprise. We need to continue to create an
enterprising culture in our schools and make the
link between the classroom and the workplace so
young people see the relevance of
learning. Skills for Scotland. A lifelong
skills strategy 2007
