Abstract

In this chapter, we aim at demonstrating how entrepreneurship education can play a crucial role in the socio-economic development of Arab countries. First of all, we explained the theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship education, its benefits, and its components (learning content, pedagogical methods, faculty skills, etc.). Secondly, we showed how the Arab world could leverage entrepreneurship education to make better use of the potential of young people and women by strengthening their entrepreneurial skills. Thirdly, we explained how entrepreneurship education boosts firms’ competitiveness and, more particularly, family businesses as an essential growth driver in Arab countries. Finally, we argued that entrepreneurship education is necessary but not enough. Its generated impact depends on the business environment and, more particularly, on the institutional agents, public policies, and incentives that Arab governments put in place to promote start-ups and entrepreneurial projects.
