Abstract
The focus of entrepreneurship ceases to be exclusively that of starting a business venture. Entrepreneurship is increasingly seen as competence that is needed to help young people, regardless of which career path they choose, in order to cope with the changes and challenges that the whole world is currently facing. Entrepreneurship as a competence should especially be promoted through education, whose role is to develop skills and abilities which are necessary for personal and professional development. That is why the development of entrepreneurship education in the last twenty years has been one of the main goals of the European Union and its Member States. The reason for the growing interest in entrepreneurship education is the awareness that by encouraging entrepreneurial thinking, young people are directed to proactive and responsible action and management of their own lives and professional careers. Entrepreneurial education enables individuals to develop skills that will make them more independent, assertive, better prepared for change, and able to respond to the increasingly challenging demands of the environment. For the purposes of this paper, examples of good practice in Europe and in the Republic of Croatia were investigated at the primary, secondary and higher education level, which aim to develop entrepreneurial competencies. A comparative analysis of examples of good practice in encouraging entrepreneurship education can serve as a good basis for improving existing and developing new entrepreneurship education programs.
