Entrepreneurs and Education

Evan Davis presents the business magazine. From the bottom of the class to the top of their businesses, why school isn't always the answer for many entrepreneurs.

Who needs qualifications for success? Three business leaders tell Evan Davis how they made it to the top after leaving school with just one A'Level between them all. Two of the guests explain how, having dyslexia and being labelled failures at school, made them even more determined to make a success of their lives. And they'll explore whether the skills to be an entrepreneur can be taught in the classroom.

Guests:
Jo Malone, CEO, Jo Loves
Gary Grant, CEO, The Entertainer
Mark Featherstone-Witty, CEO, Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts

Producer:
Jim Frank.
