<p>Entrepreneurship and business education are important components of both high quality
careers education and guidance as well as a broad education offer for pupils.</p><p>The
careers statutory guidance places a responsibility on schools in England to offer
pupils the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills and have access to advice
on options available post-16, including entrepreneurship. While it is for schools
to decide how best to provide entrepreneurship education, we know that contact with
entrepreneurs themselves and businesses more widely is essential. That is why we are
funding The Careers & Enterprise Company to increase the number and quality of
contacts between young people and businesses, including entrepreneurs.</p><p>We have
revised the business GCSE, so that from September 2017 there is greater depth and
breadth and a clearer focus on the overall purpose, features and workings of businesses
and how to apply this knowledge in a business context.</p>
