Mr. James Crewdson, business teacher at the Prague British International School of Prague:
"We initially signed up to the JA Be Entrepreneur program for our secondary students from ages 14 to 17. The feedback I received from the students was very positive and they really enjoyed the sessions, students especially liked the fact that they were taught by industrial professionals and the company visit was a great opportunity for them to see how the concepts covered in the classroom are put into practice in the real world.
On the back of the JA Be Entrepreneur program we have signed up to the Company Program as a school for this academic year and are looking forward to continuing to work with the Junior Achievement organisation."

"The SATPO company has been actively organizing and financially providing for the Junior Achievement learning program for primary school children since 2010. Thanks to long-term cooperation, especially with the JA mentor, Ing. Jindra Sýkorová, over 500 pupils from state and private schools graduated. As part of the "Young Economist" graduation, there is an excursion to our company, where the children ask about anything from the world of business. Thanks to JA programs, we try not only to expand students' knowledge of financial literacy, but also to develop their entrepreneurial mindset for future employment on the labor market. It is amazing to see the interest of the students and their potential when they discover the field of microeconomics in a playful way."
