ForewordThe Education For All (EFA) process, for which UNESCO is the leadAgency, has spurred considerable increases in primary schoolenrolments in many Least Developed Countries (LDCs). As theseyoung people complete their primary education, their governments will befaced with the challenge of providing them with opportunities for furtherlearning – either in the form of general secondary education or somepreparation for the world of work.Many countries, particularly in Africa, consider that technicaland vocational education and training (TVET) can equip young peoplewith skills that enable them to engage in productive livelihoods. Yet in thepast, TVET programmes have not led to increased employment, despite theobvious need in these countries for technical and vocational services. Thishas been due, in large part, to a dearth of wage employment opportunitiesfor technically trained workers.UNESCO’s Section for Technical and Vocational Educationis addressing this issue by proposing that entrepreneurial skills shouldaugment the technical knowledge and skills learners might already have.Entrepreneurial skills will help them to acquire the mindset and know-hownecessary to make self-employment a viable career option. Since thereis currently little resource material available for teaching and learningabout entrepreneurship, especially for learners in the non-formal setting,UNESCO has developed this prototype of a modular training package inentrepreneurship entitled “Starting my own small business”.It is my fervent hope that education authorities, and nongovernmentalorganizations and others will utilize this training packagefor non-formal learners in conjunction with vocational skills training2
