Abstract

This article presents a study about the actions that the public schools of a neighbourhood of Bogotá (Colombia) implemented with the purpose of implementing a course on entrepreneurship in secondary education. There are normative elements of the entrepreneurship course in the country, such as Law 1014 of 2006, Law 1429 of 2010 and the policy documents of the National Ministry of Education. The perspectives of teachers, students, managers and the productive sector linked to each institution are contrasted. In addition, a review of documents and experiences of the actors involved in the process is carried out. The participation of the National Apprenticeship Service (SENA) and its role in schools is analysed, as well as the articulation of public educational institutions in Bogotá with higher education. Thanks to the realization of this study it will be possible to provide a clearer vision on the incidence of the culture of entrepreneurship in the educational environment of Bogota. The study shows aspects that can be considered in order to improve their implementation in other educational institutions.

Keywords: education in entrepreneurship, secondary education, entrepreneurship in schools in Bogotá, entrepreneurship in secondary education
