ABSTRACT
Educational Institutions can provide career pathways for students, entrepreneurship education has been considered by a lot of developing and underdeveloped countries as one possible solution to address poverty issues. Many governments have not been remiss in initiating programs and campaigns to promote entrepreneurial activities, especially among the young to encourage them to be active contributors to the thrust of poverty alleviation. Despite these efforts, the mindsets of students still appear to be focused on corporate employment. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine students' perceptions of entrepreneurship education in shaping entrepreneurial intention. Students' perceptions of entrepreneurship education are measured based on three variables: entrepreneurship curriculum, teaching methods, and school's role in promoting entrepreneurship. The study design is a survey study where data is collected through the distribution of questionnaire forms. The questionnaire that was distributed is in the form of closed-ended questions with a 4- point Likert scale. A total of 42 high school students and 23 teachers were selected through the purposive sampling method. The study data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 26.0. The findings of the study show that the entrepreneurship curriculum, teaching methods, and the school's role in promoting entrepreneurship have no significant relationship with the entrepreneurial intentions of students. In conclusion, Entrepreneurial education must be given support by the school leaders by reviewing the existing high school entrepreneurship curriculum and strengthening teachers’, training to improve teaching methods on entrepreneurship education. Increase entrepreneurship awareness among students and teachers through a variety of school activities that promote entrepreneurship
