There are some Nigerian schools that integrate business experience into their curricula, fostering practical skills and an entrepreneurial mindset in their students.
The students create products/services, manage budgets, market to customers, and reinvest profits in school projects or charities.
Let's look at a few of the schools in the following slides:
1. Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja: Each term, students form teams that research market needs, write detailed business plans and launch ventures such as handcrafted soap labels or small event-planning services.
2. Greensprings School, Lagos: Under the Young Entrepreneurs Programme, students operate cooperatives focused on projects ranging from organic produce farming to custom T-shirt design.
3. Dowen College:The BizTech Club integrates enterprise roles into the timetable by assigning students to positions such as chief executive, finance director or marketing lead.
