Abstract

The notion of entrepreneurship is usually related to the economics, i.e. starting and development of business. Entrepreneurship involves knowledge and skills, characteristics and attitudes that are necessary for starting the business and its successful development. Knowledge has a significant role in the development of entrepreneurship. The role of the education in the development of the enterprising spirit of an individual has become a way of living. Entrepreneurial competence has become one of the key competences. When should we start with entrepreneurial education and how should we educate students, improve the programmes and make education meet high standards? These are only some of the questions that have been discussed in this article. The analysis of programmes and experience in education has shown that it is necessary to introduce entrepreneurship at certain levels of education and to create teaching programmes and curricula which would include topic of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial features shared by the majority of students include being open for changes and new experience, and ready for cooperation and making arrangements with fellow students.
