The high unemployment rate, especially amongst schoolleavers could be counterbalanced by raising
awareness of entrepreneurship as a career option.
This investigation explores the relationship of entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurship and who the
entrepreneur is, as is presented in the literature. The focus has shifted from testing for personality
traits to identifying entrepreneurial attitude, attributes, behaviour and activities. A questionnaire, the
GET (General Enterprising Tendencies test) was used to determine the levels of entrepreneurial
attitude amongst a group of grade ll learners in three South African secondary schools, with the aim
of raising awareness of their personal levels of entrepreneurial attitude and making them aware of
entrepreneurship as a career option.
It was found that inter alia, a culture of entrepreneurship is not prevalent amongst learners and prospective school leavers in South Africa. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counseling)
