Introduction
Background to curriculum reviewAs Rwanda moves towards Universal Secondary Education and 12 years of basic education, it is imperative that those graduating from secondary schools are equipped with competences to ensure that they can be productive after graduation. Therefore, a careful review of the secondary school Entrepreneurship syllabus was carried out to ensure that the key transferable skills that employers needs are provided to all secondary school graduates. These include academic school skills as well as communication and team work skills.
A competence based syllabus guides the development of competences associated with methodologies and assessment strategies that specify the outcomes which are consistent with the needs of the individual, the community and the labour market. This syllabus offers learners the opportunity to apply what they have learnt to real life situations and make a difference in their own life with the help of their teachers, whose role is central to the success of the curriculum delivery.
The Entrepreneurship competence based curriculum intends to equip learners with a combination of skills, attitudes, and values as well as knowledge that a learner can demonstrate and use during and after each level of the learning process. This should enable them to accomplish employment-related tasks satisfactorily, while personal characteristics such as motivation, self-confidence, and willpower are also developed.
rationale for the teaching and learning of entrepreneurship
entrepreneurship and societyThe developmental process and capital formation cannot in the long run be achieved by the state or by donor funds alone. While both of these must contribute, the backbone
vi

of the process should be the middle class of the Rwandan entrepreneurs.
Productive entrepreneurship must be fostered to perform its traditional role of creating wealth, employment and vital innovations through opportunities for profit.
Entrepreneurship education is a vital part of the process to build a prosperous society, and a driving force behind employment, growth and competitiveness. A successful entrepreneur is an asset to the society. He or she can contribute to the wellbeing of a society in several ways, such as the provision of goods and services, creating new markets and new technologies, new institutional forms, new jobs and net increases in productivity which improves the living conditions of people.
Entrepreneurship is a great enabler, which can help level the playing field between developed and developing countries and regions. It is envisaged that with Entrepreneurship education, Rwanda will transform from a subsistence agricultural economy into a knowledge-based society, with a vibrant class of entrepreneurs.
entrepreneurship and learnersThe subject is meant to change the attitudes of learners, encouraging them to focus more on self employment and self-reliance. It should also raise awareness amongst young people and the broader the community for promotion of the potential youth enterprises. The attitude of young people is also a driver of their productivity. Many Rwandan youths lack a culture of entrepreneurship while some youth perceive certain types of jobs as jobs for second class citizens. This further translates into a negative attitude towards learning skills related to those perceived as blue-collar jobs.
Entrepreneurship education will help to ensure that the key transferable soft skills that employers need are being provided to all secondary graduates, including academic skills, communication and teamwork skills. Entrepreneurship education will also help to reduce skills gaps and shortages; improving productivity and business performance; increasing

Introduction
opportunities to boost the skills and productivity of the sector’s workforce, including action on equal opportunities; and improving quality and relevance of training for employment among learners.
Using this Teacher’s guide, learners will have; progressively more challenging educational activities; experiences that will enable them to develop the insight needed to discover and create entrepreneurial opportunities. Education is entrepreneurship, therefore, help learners to apply business knowledge, skills and attitudes to solve environmental, economic and social problems in their everyday lives.
competencesThe present curriculum places emphasis on learning knowledge for its own sake.The new curriculum places emphasis on the development of competences. A competence is the ability to use knowledge. A competence is a combination of knowledge with skills, attitudes and values that a learner must demonstrate during and after each level of the learning process that enables the learner to accomplish a certain task satisfactorily. Basic competences are addressed in the stated broad subject competences and in objectives highlighted on a yearly basis and in each of the units of learning.
The generic competences are competencies which are important in all fields, both in school and employment. They must be emphasised and reflected throughout the learning process and are briefly described below. Teachers should ensure that learners are regularly exposed to tasks that help them acquire these competences.
generic competencescritical and problem solving skills: The acquisition of such skills will help learners to think imaginatively, innovatively and broadly to evaluate and find the problems encountered in their surroundings.
creativity and innovation: The acquisition of such skills will help learners to take the initiative and use their imaginations

beyond the knowledge provided in the classroom to generate new ideas and construct new concepts.
research: This will help learners to find answers to questions based on existing information and concepts and use it to explain phenomena from gathered information.
Communication in official languages: Teachers, irrespective of being language teachers will ensure the proper use of language of instruction by learners. The teachers should communicate clearly and confidently and convey ideas effectively through spoken and written by applying appropriate language and relevant vocabulary.
cooperation, inter personal management and life skills: This will help the learner to cooperate as a team in whatever task is assigned and to practice positive ethical moral values while respecting rights, feelings and views of others. They should be able to perform practical activities related to environmental conservation and protection and to advocate for personal, family and community health, hygiene and nutrition and respond creatively to a variety of challenges encountered in life.
lifelong learning: Knowledge is always changing. Lifelong learning means the acquisition of cognitive skills and the ability to be creative and think for themselves will help learners to update knowledge and skills with minimum external support. The learners will be able to cope with the evolution of knowledge advances for personal fulfillment in areas that are relevant to their improvement and development.
Broad entrepreneurship competencesIn addition to generic competences, there are competences specific to entrepreneurship. The overall goal of entrepreneurship education is to give learners the attitude, knowledge and skills to act in an entrepreneurial way. The intention of this is that learners should be able to:
· Use available resources properly and responsibly to create gainful activities for the present and future generation.
ix
Introduction
· Use their creative and innovative powers to come up with new products.
· Take manageable risk ventures and create employment opportunities.
· Make rational decisions based on one’s needs. · Create and implement business opportunities from the
environment. · Create smart goals and make viable decisions in life. · Save for future needs and manage finance in daily activities. · Develop and implement a viable business plan. · Apply standards in business operations. · Pay taxes in accordance to Rwanda tax law. · Exercise their rights and responsibilities as an employee
and employer. · Demonstrate appropriate workplace behaviour and attitude. · Perform accounting for a business enterprise. · Apply ethical behaviour in business.
pedagogical Approach
The competence – based curriculum design philosophyA competence-based entrepreneurship education generally builds on active and participatory teaching methods. The change to competence-based curriculum is about transforming learning so that it is deep, enjoyable and habit-forming. It’s main characteristics are the practical, project-based approach, promoting practical experience through workshops, cooperation with different organisations and enterprises, including; learning settings outside school, and last but not least, the hands-on approach of setting up and running learner projects. At the same time, each learner is an individual with his/her own needs, pace of learning, experiences and abilities. Teaching strategies must therefore be varied, but flexible within well-structured sequences of lessons.

link to prior learning experiences The objective of entrepreneurial teaching is not only to introduce new content to learners, but to build on the student’s own learning experiences such as personal, family or community experiences in its delivery. Entrepreneurship is a subject that has links with many other subjects such as Mathematics, Economics, History and Citizenship, English, Technology, Science and others; therefore, lessons should be delivered showing the relationship with other subjects.
Teaching and learning methods The methodological approaches used in the textbooks are based on active and participatory teaching and learning. Every part of the book contains activities for the learners which are an integral part of the learning process. The exact type of activity depends on the topic being handled, the learners’ learning or comprehension capacities, and the resources available for use in the learning process. The activities employed are learner centered, where the learner is the main actor and the teacher is expected to apply a series of interactive learning processes.
In order for secondary schools learners to learn this entrepreneurship program focused on developing transferable 21st century skills, the pedagogical structure of a skills lab is provided in the learning activities. Skills lab is a time when learners are required to complete learning activities working in small groups. The skills labs are a no-cost, easy method to change teacher’s pedagogy from theory-based to competency-based instruction. Skills lab ensures teachers are accountable to completing all the learning activities and projects as outlined in the syllabus. Learners should also engage in business clubs to guarantee they practice entrepreneurship.
nB: It is recommended that the teacher must always complete every group activity with learners giving feedback or sharing through class presentations, discussions, questions and answers to come to an agreed content summary or conclusion of the lesson

Introduction
role of the teacher Since the competency based curriculum is about learners’ active participation in the learning process you must stick to a learner centered approach where you the teacher play the role of the coach/ facilitator in order to value learners’ needs and expectations. Your role as the teacher in using these text books should include among others:
· Organise learners in classroom or study areas. · Designs the tasks to be performed and then works as
facilitator throughout the whole process of learning. · Provide the necessary support to the challenging tasks. · Plan and design appropriate tasks that can provoke
learners to think critically, be creative and innovative and be actively involved during the learning process.
· Organise and develop learning/teaching materials/resources.
· Design appropriate assessment to measure the achievement of set objectives.
The role of the learner A competence-based curriculum on which this text book is based cannot be successful without the learners’ full involvement in the learning process. They should be ready and willing to work with the teacher in the delivery of this syllabus.
The role of the learner, therefore, in the effective use of the text book should include:
· Regular attendance in the classroom. · Active participation in the group work activities. · Seek assistance and feedback from fellow learners and
teachers. · Imitate/apply learnt material in their school or daily life. · Respect school rules and regulations. · Search for more information through continuous research
using various sources like books, internet etc.
xii

special education needs (sen) and inclusive approach The new curriculum is based on the idea that all Rwandans have the right to access education regardless of their different needs. This is the focus of Special Education Needs. The critical issue is that we have persons/ learners who are totally different in their ways of living and learning as opposed to the majority. The difference can either be emotionally, physically, sensory and intellectually learning challenged.
These learners equally have the right to benefit from education in all our schools. You must, therefore consider each learner’s needs during teaching and learning process whatever their intellectual or physical abilities. Assessment strategies and conditions should also be adapted to the needs of these learners. Detailed guidance for each category of learners with special education needs is provided for in this teacher’s guide.
Assessment Approach Assessment is mainly about improving learning and, through improving learning, improving teaching. Assessment is not just about ‘testing’ learners to find out if they have learnt particular knowledge, but to find out if they have achieved the objectives and learnt the competences, which include understanding, skills, attitudes and values. It is an important ongoing process in teaching and learning and it should be used continuously, meaning it should not be done only at the end after completing a particular topic.
Assessment should include formative assessment which takes place throughout every teaching topic and every unit of the Learner’s Book. All the activities in the Learner’s Book are types of formative assessment. Formative assessment emphasises continuous assessment as part of the teaching and learning process. The idea of “assessment for learning” focuses on using the assessment information to improve teaching and learning as an ongoing process. This helps teachers to monitor their learners’ progress on a continuous basis. The teacher should constantly observe and evaluate learners’ achievement, collecting data on areas of improvement and new skills that they acquire.
xiii
Introduction
In doing this, teachers should focus on the learning objectives and competences stated in the syllabus in order for learners to be aware of what is being assessed, the assessment techniques being used, and the criteria used. Learners can then judge for themselves whether they are achieving the objectives and gaining the competences.
Summative assessment tells you what learners have learnt or can do after a whole section of teaching e.g. a ‘unit test’. These are also important, but assessment should not be done only by ‘tests’. Tests must include skills, values and attitudes as well as just knowledge. We should test whether learners can read a map, interpret a photograph, have formed an opinion about a topic or even changed their behaviour on the basis of attitudes and values they have learnt. We should not just be testing the factual knowledge they have learnt.
This means we should not just use one type of assessment – the traditional method used in the knowledge-based approach by which we give a written ‘test’ either consisting of answering a series of short questions or writing an essay. We should use a variety of methods of assessment.
variety of assessmentsSome of the assessment techniques that can be used include the following;
verbal assessment · Answering questions verbally · Making a verbal report · Interview with an individual learner or group
Written assessment · Do a written activity (from text books or self prepared) · Do an assignment · Write a report · Sit for a test or an examination
xiv
Entrepreneurship for Rwanda Secondary Schools Teacher’s Guide Book 4
practical assessment · Participate in a field trip/excursion and collect information · Do a science experiment and raw conclusions · Demonstrate a particular task · Draw, interpret and use a map · Analyse a photograph · Basic library research and collect information
group work AssessmentParticipate in a group task and discussionParticipate in a role play and drama
other Assessment Techniques includes; · Observation of what individual learners do · Consultation with individual learners by asking them
questions · Focused analyses of learners work such as portfolio, or a
collection of work they have done, to determine how each individual learner is performing in their learning process.
resources The learner centered approach in the Entrepreneurship syllabus delivery emphasises the need to use a variety of teaching learning resources including those improvised or collected by the teacher and the learners from the surrounding environment.
Finally, referring to the syllabus unit shows how it links to other subjects, the assessment criteria and the recommended materials or resources to be used in the teaching and learning process of Entrepreneurship.

Introduction
list of materials needed The materials that the teacher will need to aid the learning process include, but are not limited to the following:
· Reference books like textbooks, learners’ textbooks and teachers’ guides, Entrepreneurship journals, magazines, etc.
· Case study materials and scenarios. · Computer and Internet connection. · Projectors. · Audio visual study and video materials. · Entrepreneurship incubation facilities. · Successful business resourceful people. · Business simulations. · Individual and group business projects. · Data analysis software such as Microsoft Excel. · Business incubators. · Accounting software such as QuickBook, Sage, Pastel,
Tally, Peachtree etc. · Raspberry pi software.
human resource requirements for the successful teaching and learning of entrepreneurship A competent teacher of A-Level Entrepreneurship must have at least the following minimum qualifications: a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with Entrepreneurship, Business Studies, Business Administration, Economics, Management, Finance, and professional certificates like ACCA and CPA or other closely related fields.
strategies to address special education needs All learners have the right to access education regardless of their different impairments and this means that all citizens benefit from the same choice of education programmes. This is meant to focus on special needs education since we have learners who are totally different in their ways of living and learning and the difference can either be emotional, physical,
xvi
Entrepreneurship for Rwanda Secondary Schools Teacher’s Guide Book 4
sensory and mental. Therefore, both teachers’ and schools’ role is to enrol them and also set strategies to provide relevant education to them.
Parents and teachers should communicate on cases relating to learners’ special education needs and difficulties so that they can jointly help. Parents are requested to collaborate with the school administration and teachers towards the academic progress and achievement of their children.
Adaptation of teaching methods and approaches Teachers should have a positive attitude towards all categories of learners and use teaching and assessment approaches appropriate to meet each individual learners special needs; for example learners with hearing and visual impairment depend more on sign language and the using of concrete objects such as models, diagrams and samples. The examination, therefore, should be standardised to meet different categories of learners with special education needs and the interpretation of results and decisions should be fair.
The teacher will aim to use the following strategies if he/she is to cater for learners with special needs.
· Use cooperative learning, for instance, through group works and discussions.
· Mix learners with special needs with other learners. · Tape-record portions of textbooks, trade books, and other
printed materials so learners can listen (with earphones) to an oral presentation of necessary material.
· Providing written or pictorial directions to those with hearing problems.
· Design special programmes and follow up to keep track of their learning.
· Provide special needs learners with frequent progress checks.
· Using of concrete objects such as models, diagrams, samples, and the like to those with hearing problems so

· For learners with hearing problems, visual aids, sign languages would be appropriate.
