Sažetak
The level of education is a direct result of
the educational system. Croatian and Finnish
education systems are quite different. They are
very different not just by their fundamental
base and investments but also in results. The
aim of this article is to confirm that the level of
education in this two two educational systems
have the same impact with respect to direction
towards entrepreneurial activity. Of course
that entrepreneurial activity is not dependent
exclusively and only on the educational status of
each undertaking, but its impact is significant and
worth investigating.
Entrepreneurs that come to the labor market
from the Finnish and Croatian education systems
are quite different. Two different education
systems produce people with quite different
entrepreneurial competencies. What they have
in common is a causal link between the level
of education and entrepreneurial activities. The
entrepreneurial activity grows with the level of
education. Simultaneously with the increase in
educational levels, the ability of entrepreneurs to
identify opportunities in the market also increases
and this is an extremely important impetus for
starting with entrepreneurial ventures. However,
the level of education absolutely does not effect
on giving up of their business venture.
The need for reform in the Croatian education
system has long been recognized at all levels,
but it cannot be carried out without securing
sufficient funding and support of all political and
social structures. Education for entrepreneurship
certainly should be an integral part of this reform.
Education for entrepreneurship should become not
just an integral part of higher education, but
also an integral part of secondary education and
lifelong learning.
