Abstract

In order for the European Union to increase its competitiveness and economic growth with regard to the globalization and competitiveness of other countries, one of the key factors underlying its progress is entrepreneurship. The European Commission states that entrepreneurship skills can be obtained. There is a need for entrepreneurs to create new jobs and this type of education in all EU countries should be supported. In this paper, a comparison between the EU countries in the approaches to entrepreneurial education at the primary and secondary level of education is made. Regression analysis examines links between perceptions of opportunities, perceptions of capabilities, perception of entrepreneurship as desirable career choice, entrepreneurial activities, entrepreneurial intentions and expert assessments for entrepreneurial education. Research was made on the basis of GEM data in 2016. The results point to positive and significant impacts, which is essential for EU members to recognize and invest more efforts in implementing entrepreneurship education in school curricula, and the European Commission to provide even greater support for it.
