Charles Handy article on education for enterprise. Handy begins the article discussing what is meant by an 'education for enterprise', identifying it as a concern to foster more enterprising people. He proceeds to state that it should not be confined to business, as the arts, the community, and the home could all benefit from more enterprising individuals. In particular, he ties this regard and plea for a more enterprising population to the objective of increased wealth and collective prosperity. Handy then identifies three hindrances to the development of enterprising peoples, namely, a lack of heroes/role models, two cultures of work and professional life, and the factory model of secondary schools. Solutions to these societal blocks include rearrangement of schools, more examples of success for individuals to aspire toward, and the basing of more education outside traditional education institutions.
