Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Work is currently under way on the development of an Entrepreneurship Education Policy Statement. It is the intention that the policy statement, which it is proposed will be launched in the second quarter of 2017, will cover the whole of the education and training system, including primary and post primary schools.

New Entrepreneurship Education Guidelines for Schools will be issued following publication of the Entrepreneurship Education Policy Statement and will be informed by that statement.
