Europeanisation of Entrepreneurship Education in Europe – Looking Back and Looking Forward
Abstract
Entrepreneurship Education is perceived as one of the key challenges of modern education systems and socio-economic growth and development. Its origins date back to the 1940s in the United States, while in Europe, depending on the individual countries to the 1980s or 1990s. In the policy of the European Union, entrepreneurial education has a significant place from the beginning of the twenty-first century and its rapid reorganization took place in 2006. The main objective of the paper is to review and discuss the efforts of the European Union itself as well as its member states in promoting entrepreneurship education in Europe. The literature and documentation review as well as its constructive critics was applied as the main research method.
