In the “Decade of culture of peace” (2001-2010), international thinker and institutions have with a positive outlook, deemed access to coexistence the duty of different social groups and institutions and introduced coexistence as a legitimate educational goal as a way to boost social cohesion. In this article peaceful coexistence is construed as an educational goal with roots in scientific/ philosophical, pragmatic and Islamic ideas. In this article a more comprehensive idea of coexistence, i.e. peaceful and just coexistence, is advocated, which is more compatible with our country’s educational system and Islamic culture. Conceptually, the ramifications of this goal constitute an educational continuum of activities covering training and education toward, as first step, a minimal peaceful and just coexistence, moving toward developing a just compromise among groups. a second step, maximal peaceful and just coexistence and balanced society in the third and fourth stages, respectively. In all the four stages, emphasis is laid on change, reform and shaping the socio-psychological repertoire of individuals and groups and education them to accept the existence of other groups and their rights. These activites are hoped to pave the way for a permanent peaceful and just (i.e. free and unimposed) socio-cultural coexistence. At the training stage, internalization of valses and the development of social skills and behaviors should receive the most attention on the part of both curriculum developers and practitioner.

For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared and after establishing the content validity and securing the reliability of the questionnaire, data were collected from a sample comprising 95 people selected by simple random sampling method. These data were analyzed based on research questions using both descriptive and inferential statistics methods like two sample t-test and one independent sample test. The findings showed that the student's knowledge of principles, key concepts and skills of entrepreneurship are inadequate. Finally, based on research findings, it is suggested that entrepreneurship curriculum in the field of educational management should be implemental so that students' understanding of scientific and technical knowledge is boosted before entering the work community.

The main goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between school climate and the tendency toward entrepreneurship in senior high school and pre-university schoolboys of Ahvaz. The method of research, with respect to its nature, is a description of correlation type. Statistical samples include 162 school employees and 181 students who were selected through stratification and multi stage clustered sampling. Two questionnaires of organizational climate (OCDQ) and the researcher made questionnaire of entrepreneurial spirit were used for data collection. Data analysis was done by the SPSS software at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that entrepreneurial spirit indices (creativity, self-esteem, advancement motivation, internal control source, foresight and risk taking) are above average in students. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between some of the indices of organizational climate i.e. (sincerity, lack of enthusiasm, prevention) and the entrepreneurial spirit at the level of p < 0/05. However there is no meaningful relationship between other indices of organizational climate i.e. (spirit, isolation, influence, emphasis on production, observance) and the entrepreneurial spirit.
