What is the School Enterprise Challenge?
The Birches South Africa (Farm Stall) 2013:The School Enterprise Challenge is an international awards programme for schools around the world with up to $50,000 in prizes available for the most entrepreneurial schools, teachers and students.
This free programme guides and supports teachers and students to plan and set up real school businesses. Students develop essential skills in business and entrepreneurship in a practical, fun and innovative way. The Challenge also helps schools generate extra income for their school, or a social cause of their choice.
All participating schools who complete the programme in 2016 will receive a School Enterprise Award Certificate.
We believe education is the key to tackling global youth unemployment and poverty. The School Enterprise Challenge helps students develop skills they need to succeed in work and in life.
What makes the School Enterprise Challenge unique?
Schools set up real businesses. The programme is free, global, and open to all ages.
What kinds of business do schools set up?
Schools have set up an amazing variety of businesses. In 2015, 1900 schools from more than 100 countries participated in the Challenge and their businesses ranged from fly fishing in Belize, to an inter-schools newspaper in India and a carwash in South Africa. Schools with new businesses on average generated an average net profit of $462 in their first three months of operation.
‘The monetary gain from the School Enterprise Challenge stands nowhere compared to the gain made in terms of entrepreneurship skills, marketing skills and a horde of other benefits and real life-hands on experience.’
