A new Harvard study finds that entrepreneurship education for low income children has an impact.
(A) multiyear Harvard study indicates that learning entrepreneurial skills may keep low-income students in school and on track for college. The program may be particularly effective for Hispanic students, who have the highest rates of dropping out of high school.
A study begun in 2001 by a Harvard researcher indicates that the National Federation for Teaching Entrepreneurship program and its focus on business-development skills improves reading scores among Hispanics. Like other students in the program, it also raises Hispanics’ interest in attending college.
I hope to see some of these kids in my classroom in a few years!
