Challenges for EE in East Africa

Growth in EE
Institutions seem to have confused small business management with

entrepreneurship.

Institutions use non-entrepreneurship instructors in non-

entrepreneurship settings to teach entrepreneurship.

Lack of pedagogic training of entrepreneurship instructors
Universities/ Instructors adhere to the old, traditional teacher-centered

way of teaching this EE (about, not for)

Lack of localized teaching materials
No sign of diversity of entrepreneurship courses
Shortage in faculty and PhD programs  
Lack of pre-service/in-service teacher training/ academic training on EE
