PIETE intends to accomplish the following objectives:

provide a profound knowledge base for better understanding of the EE concepts and tools, what will facilitate ITE educators to apply them in the ITE programs;
foster the exchange among ITE centers to develop suitable EE resources and share their experience in pre-service teacher training;
empirically assess the conceptualization of EE by ITE educators;
stimulate entrepreneurial teaching and learning efforts at schools through educating fully proficient entrepreneurial teachers (a long-term objective).
