Deadline: June 30, 2026
Applications are open for the School Enterprise Challenge 2026. The School Enterprise Challenge is a free, international education programme that supports teachers and student teams to create and run sustainable school businesses.
The School Enterprise Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for all the schools because it’s easy for all primary and secondary teachers to use, even if they don’t know much about business, as it gives clear step-by-step guidance. The programme has three steps.
If you are a school headmaster, talk to your teachers about the programme and start planning which teachers could lead a group of students. If you are a teacher, speak to your school administration and fellow teachers to decide who can join you. If you are a parent or student, talk to your school administration about the programme and all the benefits of participating!
Benefits
- As part of your participation in the School Enterprise Challenge, you will be able to participate in competitions throughout the year. These range from regular mini-competitions to annual competitions such as Best Business Idea, Best Business Plan, and Best Primary/Secondary School Business.
- They have various awards and prizes for competition winners, which include features and cash prizes, which you can use to reinvest in your business and school.
Eligibility
- Open to all schools (pre‑primary, primary, secondary and technical/vocational colleges) from any country.
- Universities are not eligible.
- A teacher or headteacher registers the school and can create one or more student business teams.
