Edupreneurs are individuals who merge education with
entrepreneurship. In the new era where individuals are developing strong
entrepreneurial mindset, teachers and other educators have to adapt to earn
more.
An Edupreneur is anyone in
education or in school business. And by EdupreneurNg, we are referring to
Nigerian school owners in the non-conventional school business like: tutorial
centers, computer, fashion, language, vocational, beauty, catering, home
schools, music, bible, business schools etc and as well as the conventional
school like the crèche, nursery, primary and the secondary schools. These set
of people make the core education, which is one of the three forms of education
providers.
Over the years, all these schools
have existed in isolation but the school business volatility and market disruption
have made us to realize that all these schools are alternatives, complimentary
and or substitutes to one another.
