Business studies for UE welcomed
The decision to include Business Studies as an approved subject for University Entrance from 2012 has been welcomed by BusinessNZ.
Chief Executive Phil O’Reilly says there is a clear need for more business education in the curriculum.
“Feedback from many companies indicates a low level of understanding of the needs of business among many school leavers.
“Young people need business-related education and skills in preparation for jobs and also in preparation for enterprise itself.
“Part of the mission of improving our national prospects lies in helping young people see that they are capable of establishing businesses of their own, employing others and contributing to New Zealand’s economic growth.”
Mr O’Reilly said the decision would be welcomed by students, parents and the wider community.
