Abstract

The present study offers a comprehensive examination of the socio-economic attributes of female entrepreneurs in Botswana, specifically emphasizing the convergence of demographic profiles, educational backgrounds, and entrepreneurial performance. Employing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research, the study rigorously analyses the elements influencing entrepreneurial outcomes for women in the region. The findings emphasize a robust positive association between increased levels of education and the achievement of business success. Specifically, women with higher education qualifications exhibit better business results in revenue growth, market expansion, and operational profitability. Nevertheless, the research also reveals enduring obstacles female entrepreneurs encounter, namely in obtaining financial access, managing socio-cultural limitations, and harmonizing family responsibilities with business requirements. The results emphasize the necessity of implementing focused policy measures, educational changes, and support structures that specifically tackle the distinct obstacles that women encounter in entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study aimed to identify effective pedagogical strategies to foster sustainable entrepreneurship among secondary school students in Botswana, thereby addressing high youth unemployment and environmental crises. Design/methodology/approach: A 12-week quasi-experimental mixed-methods study was conducted with 180 students from six secondary schools. Students were divided into three groups: experiential learning, problem-based learning (PBL), and traditional lecture-based teaching. Quantitative data was collected using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires to measure entrepreneurial intention, sustainability literacy, and innovation orientation. Qualitative data was gathered through classroom observations and focus groups to understand student perceptions. Research Findings: The findings revealed that both PBL and experiential learning significantly outperformed the lecture-based method (p<0.001). Experiential learning showed the most substantial gains across all measured competencies. Qualitative results supported this, as students in the active learning groups valued the real-world relevance and collaborative activities, while the lecture group felt the material was disconnected from practice. The study also found that female and urban learners responded more positively to active learning strategies. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of PBL and experiential learning in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship in a secondary school context. It highlights the need for curricular reform in Botswana to incorporate these active learning strategies and to address challenges such as teacher training and rigid assessment methods
