Petition Introduce mandatory business and entrepreneurship in secondary curriculum

I am deeply concerned that, in 2025, we continue to deliver a national curriculum designed for the traditional career paths of the 1980s rather than the technologies and opportunities of today.

More details

Entrepreneurship should not be treated as an optional extra, but as a matter of strategic national importance.

With AI and automation already reshaping the workforce at speed, I think our young people risk being left behind unless significant modernisation is brought into our school curriculum.

The next great British founder could be sitting in a classroom right now but without guidance, inspiration and education on how to develop their ideas, they may never discover what they’re capable of.
