A new subject in schools starting in September
15:53
The beginning of the school year for upper secondary school students brings the introduction of a new subject, which will replace the basics of entrepreneurship. Business and Management will emphasize group work and practical aspects of entrepreneurship. It's worth putting effort into it, as Business and Management will appear on the matriculation exam as soon as 2027.
In the core curriculum, Business and Management will be taught for two hours in the educational cycle. This core can be completed in one year or spread over two years, in which case one hour per week will be allocated to the subject. In the extended curriculum, Business and Management will take up to eight lesson hours in the educational cycle.
The existing teachers of entrepreneurship will be responsible for teaching this new subject. They will not only face the necessity of implementing the new core curriculum but will also have to conduct lessons in increasingly larger classes. According to the latest data from the Central Statistical Office from June 2023, the number of students in upper secondary schools has increased by 8 percent compared to the previous school year.
