First Implementation of the "Youth Entrepreneurship" Curriculum at Samgwe High School

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on May 27 that it visited Samgwe High School in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, to encourage students in a classroom where the "Youth Entrepreneurship" textbook, developed and distributed by the ministry, was being used for the first time.

This visit was arranged to observe how the "Youth Entrepreneurship" textbook, in which the ministry participated in both development and publication and which was adopted for the first time this year as a regular subject, is actually being utilized in schools. The Youth Entrepreneurship textbook is designed to move away from a rigid, theory-centered approach, enabling students to acquire entrepreneurial spirit through real-world startup cases, various hands-on activities, and creative problem-solving processes.
