How Ecubed Seeks To Foster An Entrepreneurship Mindset Among Learners. Ecubed offers free, digital, chat-based entrepreneurial learning, connection and innovation opportunities for teachers, learners, parents and officials. Ecubed supports mobile-first, low-tech access to easy-to-use cutting-edge services.
The company’s mission is to support the DBE to prepare learners with the skills and entrepreneurial mindsets they need to flourish in a constantly changing world. It believes that fostering an entrepreneurial mindset is vital for all young people and its education system.
The company’s goal is to support the DBE in integrating entrepreneurial education into the core of the education system, ensuring that every learner develops and applies social entrepreneurial skills, collaboratively addresses challenges, and adds value to others. It is not a stand-alone subject but a way of teaching that is relevant to all subject areas and accessible to all learners. Through testing and learning, Ecubed takes a practical, hands-on approach, using insights from the science of learning to reimagine traditional classrooms into dynamic spaces where creativity and entrepreneurship thrive.
The company collaborates closely with educators and DBE officials, assisting with professional development by offering tools and support to implement proven teaching methods using innovative solutions like its TeacherConnectchat platform. TeacherConnectchat is an innovative and groundbreaking WhatsApp communication platform that helps teachers by connecting them with information, learning, and opportunities.
Entrepreneurial education offers a valuable framework for problem-solving and value creation, applicable in education, employment, and entrepreneurship contexts. Entrepreneurial education is not limited to simply setting up a business. Therefore, it is not a stand-alone subject but a teaching method relevant to all subject areas. It is about developing a mindset that assists learners in recognising challenges and collaboratively seeking solutions, thereby adding value to others. Ecubed therefore sees entrepreneurial education as encompassing social entrepreneurship, which involves equipping learners to naturally drive their self-directed pursuit of opportunities, foster their problem-solving abilities, solve societal problems and create value for the community.
