Abstract

Entrepreneurial education is the new must of today’s young generations. Either the teenagers or the young adults envision a career in IT&C, medicine, law or architecture, nowadays society requires from them to possess knowledge about how a business works or how it can be successfully developed. This brings up the question for curricula developers when should be introduced business education to children. For the time being, in Romania as well as in most of the European countries, they make acquaintance with the entrepreneurial education during high school. The present study wants to throw a glimpse at how pupils themselves perceive the study of entrepreneurial education and how effective is for their future to start learning about entrepreneurship concepts around the age of 16. Consequently, with the help of a quantitative research materialized in a questionnaire, the study has the objective to determine the perception of high school students in Romania about the entrepreneurial education and to evaluate its impact in a number of different matters. They have been focused primarily on the decision of their future careers and the role the teacher plays in this process. The contributions of this study could be of high importance for both curricula developers that must take into account students and market’s needs, as well as for the universities which offer business administration study programs. For the case of the universities, in order to develop coherent study programs, they need to be aware of the students’ basic level of knowledge regarding entrepreneurship and their understanding gained through the mandatory subject of Entrepreneurial Education during the high school time.
