Defining enterprise education.
Enterprise education is enterprise capability
supported by better financial capability and
economic and business understanding. Enterprise
capability includes innovation, creativity,
risk-management and risk-taking, a can-do
attitude and the drive to make ideas happen. This
concept embraces future employees, as well as
future entrepreneurs. DfES, 2005

• Enterprise education encourages young people
  to handle uncertainty and respond positively to
  change, to create and implement new ideas and
  ways of doing things, and to take and manage
  risks. It helps young people to develop a can
  do attitude and the drive to make ideas happen,
  raising their aspirations, improving their
  achievement in school and developing valuable
  skills for education and employment

The enterprise learning environment

• Enterprise learning requires an environment where
  pupils are expected to take personal
  responsibility for their own actions. They are
  given significant autonomy to tackle relevant
  problems or issues, which involves an element of
  risk as well as reward for their successful
  resolution. In other words, there is considerable
  uncertainty about final outcomes. Such an
  environment might be the school, local community
  or business. Within these contexts, learning can
  be promoted by engaging pupils in an enterprise
  process or approach,
