Our Mission

 Although many universities in the developed world are embracing entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education, African universities have not fully integrated this discipline as a significant part of their curriculum. Additionally, those that have incorporated entrepreneurship in their curricula continue to employ pedagogies that are of a traditional and theoretical orientation. According to Kabongo and Okpara (2010), entrepreneurship education in Africa is still focused on lecturing. Hence, the purpose of this symposium is to engage in a fulsome dialogue to enhance entrepreneurship education in Africa and to make it more practical and relevant. The symposium explores pedagogies in entrepreneurship education that could enhance student engagement and overall effectiveness in the classroom. It also explores the role of technologies and blended entrepreneurship education including virtual formats and the use of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses).
