Role of Liberal Education in Social Entrepreneurship – A Changing Perception

Uncategorized27 DecemberKesavan Baskkaran

As the Global village grows with modern technology, the higher education model is moving towards a liberal way to make a student evolve as a Corporate Achiever and Entrepreneur. The campuses are introducing Liberal education concept with entrepreneurship as a curriculum and bringing into them comprehensive leadership programs that cast students and faculty in entrepreneurial roles. Leadership studies in such schools give a role for one to provide an understanding for new initiatives that try to bring in both liberal education and practice of entrepreneurship under single gambit.

Understanding the basics of a liberal education are essential to the evolution of an ideal entrepreneurial mindset. Further, an Entrepreneurship aspect in one’s study is an in-depth inquiry that is engaging all departments of colleges. The study of entrepreneurship and the liberal education becomes complementary to the way of life of a student and college. The liberally educated student is open-minded, tolerant, intellectually curious, experimentative. The student values his or her own education for evolving themselves, to understand the natural world, human rights, cultures, and the common good. The liberally educated person is actively engaged with the world in all of its complexity, diversity, and dynamism. Such an individual is characterized by openness and curiosity and seeks to make a positive contribution to the future of humankind.

Social Commitment and Entrepreneurship

One of the most powerful developments in liberal education in recent years has been the emergence of service learning and civic engagement on campuses. As more liberal education universities encourage this kind of engagement, students become better to meet the challenges one face in society. This makes them understand and share new ideas, new technologies with new solutions. When coupled with a liberal education in campus, these off-campus, co-curricular learning experiences will prepare them well to take on responsibilities of leadership and to become the entrepreneurs we need in both our workplaces and our communities.

The social interest entrepreneurship education has evolved and has begun to spread to non-business disciplines where students in engineering and other streams are interested in becoming entrepreneurs. The burgeoning new field of entrepreneurship education includes not only business-related entrepreneurship but also social entrepreneurship. The more recent concept of social entrepreneurship resonates particularly well with the goals of liberal education. The social entrepreneurs play the role of change agents in the social sector by Evolving, creating and sustaining social value, pursuing new opportunities to serve that mission, continuous innovation, adaptation, and learning, managing effectively with limited resources, exhibiting a heightened sense of accountability

Concerted Effort

Liberal Education university offers the opportunity for a holistic educational experience that is well suited to the needs of the potential entrepreneur. As a new entrepreneur needs to encounter a wide variety of perspectives, ethical norms and the development of critical thinking and communication skills makes one more evolved. Further, Liberal education gives the opportunity to become independent, interactive and active learners for charting their own way of life. The ideal liberal education models a process of continuous adaptation and innovation and it is becoming a “metaphor for entrepreneurship.”

As one connects leadership, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement, it yields powerful results that are greater than the sum of the parts mentioned. This enables the emergence of creativity to the core. This is the kind of academic leadership and entrepreneurship that one needs to create synergies between these discrete areas. Leadership programs for students, when combined with curricula that focus upon entrepreneurship and then coupled with extracurricular programs engage students with their communities resulting in producing liberally educated social entrepreneurs. These entrepreneurs would be committed to addressing social problems through innovative solutions that are empowering and produce value-added outcomes.
