Abstract:
This study assessed the level of awareness of livelihood and entrepreneurship opportunities among grade 10 junior high school students of Bulacan
Province, with a view to knowing the possible entry points for educational
interventions. The objectives of the research are: to find the extent to
which students know available entrepreneurship opportunities and perceive the extent of entrepreneurship education in schools and the role that
entrepreneurship plays in the economy. This will be a mixed-method study
using both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. It shall be
participated by the Grade 10 students of two public secondary schools in
Malolos, Bulacan, for the 2021-2022 academic year. Data were gathered
through questionnaires adapted from the various measures, as shall be
specified. The results of the study showed that the student-respondents
manifested a moderate level of awareness insofar as entrepreneurship is
concerned. However, some industries seemed underrepresented in the
awareness that the students have about entrepreneurship. Based on the
findings, promotional strategies in the form of informative posters and videos were formulated and evaluated by experts. An action plan was suggested to increase livelihood and entrepreneurship awareness, recommending activities for provoking the students' interest.
