Peter Jones' Enterprise Academy: A boost for British business?

Dan Martin's picture

The UK's first National Enterprise Academy, the brainchild of Dragons' Den judge Peter Jones, has officially opened today. Backed by the government, the NEA promises to equip the nation's young people with the skills necessary to succeed in business. Subjects to be covered include business planning, marketing, accounting, financial planning, market research and 'financial entrepreneurialism'.

But what are your predictions for the scheme? Do you think it will provide the UK with an entrepreneurial boost or is running a business simply something that can't be taught in a classroom?
