Entrepreneurial characteristics among teachers

Entrepreneurship has been proven to be the driver of the world economy.The developed countries realised this a long time ago and they came up with policies that encouraged their people to engage in enterprise growth and development.This explains the reasons behind the large gap existing between the Western and American economies viz a viz African Economies.However the less developed nations have realized the vital role of entrepreneurship and have also put up measures to promote it in their countries.Kenya for instance has started entrepreneurship education at all education levels,i.e primary,secondary,middle level colleges and in the universities.Due to poor salaries for the employed people many start their own small enterprises on the side to supplement the low salaries.Among them are secondary school teachers who are expected to expose the young to entrepreneurship knowledge and skills.A good number succeed and expand their enterprises while others fail miserably.
