(Entrepreneurship subject sa junior at senior high isinusulong)MGA KABATAAN HUBUGIN SA PAGNENEGOSYO

IGINIIT ni Deputy Speaker at Las Piñas City Congresswoman Camille Villar na mainam na sa murang edad pa lamang ay mahubog na at magkaroon ng kaukulang kaalaman ang mga kabataang Pilipino sa larangan ng pagnenegosyo.

Sa kanyang inihaing House Bill No. 3099, iminungkahi ni Villar na maisama ang entrepreneurship subject sa junior at senior year curricula, kapwa sa mga mag-aaral sa public at private secondary schools sa bansa.

Ayon kay Villar, sa kasalukuyan, ang entrepreneurship ay ibinibigay sa Grades 11 at 12 students base sa K to 12 curriculum na ipinatutupad ng Department of Education (DepEd).

“Entrepreneurship education is a lifelong process, starting as early as elementary school and progressing through all levels of education, including adult education,” sabi ng Las Piñas City lawmaker.

“To help mold Filipinos to become successful entrepreneurs, we should introduce our young students to entrepreneurial concepts and deeper insights that would help them create new companies in the future,” dagdag pa niya.

Sinabi ni Villar na mahigit sa 90% ng ekonomiya ng bansa ay binubuo ng mga maliliit na negosyo at ito rin ay nakapagbibigay ng maraming trabaho sa mga Pilipino.

“Thus, starting entrepreneurship education at an early age would pave the way for more startups that will help shape brighter prospects for the country. Further, the new generation is rapidly becoming known as the most entrepreneurial generation ever, with more than 60% saying they have some sort of started or they plan to start their own business venture,” aniya.

“Entrepreneurship education aids students from all socioeconomic backgrounds to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. It creates opportunities, ensures social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the economy,” pagbibigay-diin pa ng kongresista.
