    Social entrepreneurship is the catalytic behaviour of social benefit organizations that engender value and change in the sector, community, and industry through the combination of innovation, risk-taking and reactiveness. It has attracted growing interest from policymakers, young people, entrepreneurs, funders, and established businesses. Significant advances have been seen in the practice of social entrepreneurship without a commensurate surge in the literature on the theory underlying the practice. The increased attention on the practice has revealed a significant lack of cohesion in the area of social entrepreneurship which has resulted in a stifling of the academic research devoted to the social sector. As the demand and interest in social entrepreneurship increases, it requires a comprehensive understanding of what social entrepreneurship really is. Therefore, this paper tries to provide an in depth discussion on the meaning, purpose, scope and the socio economic effects of social entrepreneurship.

Namun, dunia hari ini menyebabkan manusia terlalu bergantung kepada dunia sains dan teknologi. Realiti ini menyebabkan manusia leka dalam menjalankan tanggungjawab memelihara alam sekitar. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memberi kesedaran kepada masyarakat tentang kepentingan alam sekitar, untuk menggalakkan usahawanan sosial dalam menggunakan idea inovatif bagi melestarikan alam sekitar dan sebagai cadangan untuk menangani masalah pencemaran alam sekitar melalui pendekatan inovatif keusahawanan sosial. Keusahawanan sosial bukanlah sesuatu yang baharu, namun di Malaysia ia belum digunakan secara meluas. Hanya segelintir usahawan yang terlibat dalam bidang keusahawanan sosial ini kerana kurangnya pengetahuan dan pendedahan yang jelas tentang konsep keusahawanan sosial. Oleh itu, kertas kerja ini akan membincangkan isu semasa pencemaran alam sekitar di Malaysia, pendekatan inovatif keusahawanan sosial dan usahawan sosial berjaya.

    The reality of ethnic and cultural diversity in the classroom today is a massive challenge for teachers, especially prospective teachers. The teacher education program is vital in educating prospective teachers with culturally responsive pedagogy and teaching students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A school environment consisting of students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds requires teachers to meet their needs. Teachers must be culturally competent to respond effectively in terms of diversity in their classrooms and prepare their students to live and work in a global society. Preparing prospective teachers for this role is not an easy task and what makes it more difficult is that the diversity of teachers does not always match the diversity of students in schools. This paper will discuss cultural competency among prospective teachers and related theories regarding this issue. Teachers and prospective teachers should show professional competencies that will enable them to work effectively, respectfully, and ethically with students from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
