ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AND STUDENTS' INTENTION: A THEORETICAL REVIEW
Abstract
The study aimed to examine entrepreneurship education\'s effect on students\' intentions at the University of Calabar, Nigeria. The objectives were to explore the link between entrepreneurship education and students\' decisions and investigate the modes of entrepreneurship training among them. This study adopted a desk survey approach. Information was gathered from textbooks, published and unpublished journals, and internet applications. Based on the theoretical review, the findings indicated that entrepreneurship education affects students\' decisions and that entrepreneurship training impacts their entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education plays a critical role in economic and social growth. It is regarded as an essential driver of economic growth, productivity, innovation, and employment, and is commonly accepted as a vital feature of economic dynamism. The study recommended that the government ensure schools have the necessary physical and instructional facilities to make entrepreneurship education more impactful. All stakeholders in education should work to ensure that entrepreneurial education is adequately funded. An entrepreneurial internship program should be developed to pair students with local entrepreneurs who have well-defined educational programs
