01 | As tomorrow's leaders, today's students must be able to envision the long-term implications of issues and changes within their communities, country, and world. They must be confident in their abilities to respond effectively to these challenges. The business education curriculum emphasizes creative and critical thinking in both independent and co-operative activities and provides students with opportunities to apply skills and knowledge in practical ways to a variety of situations. The rapid rate of technological change affects our families, workplaces, communities, and environment. For example, individuals frequently change jobs to adapt to changing working conditions. In such a world, students need to be increasingly entrepreneurial and flexible. Business education prepares students for this new reality by incorporating the challenges of technology, the recognition of evolving roles of women and men, and the concept of lifelong learning. The Business Education 8 to 10 IRP provides a framework within which a variety of perspectives may be integrated including those of small business, corporate business, workers, labour unions, and entrepreneurs. The viewpoints of employees, consumers, and employers are also considered. High ethical and environmental standards for the workplace and for business and consumer practices are emphasized. The learning experiences will help students understand the interconnectedness of jobs, work, and the individual's place in the national and global economy. They will also provide students with practical skills that they can apply in their daily lives, now and in the future, and enhance students' employability skills. | 20/50/30 (project) |
