A popular student enterprise competition may have fallen victim to the government spending cuts. Enterprise UK, which overseas Global Enterprise Week, amongst other enterprise activities, has decided to ditch the Make Your Mark with a Tenner competition. More details here.

A broader debate is now emerging about the nature and role of enterprise education in the UK. Dragon Peter Jones has some pretty harsh and cutting things to say in the Telegraph

But is Tenner really dead? Has its demise been exaggerated? Oli Barrett contacted tutor2u today to explain that, although Enterprise UK has has to make cuts, and one of the changes being made is the winding down of the ‘Make Your Mark’ campaign, he is pleased to say that there is (currently) every desire to continue with Make Your Mark with a Tenner. Fingers crossed!
