Abstract
The present article was conducted with the aim of making education entrepreneurial in schools. This research was applied in terms of purpose and was conducted with a qualitative method of synthesis research and semi-structured interviews with experts, and the statistical corpus included all studies published between 2003 and 2021. To this aim, 600 studies on the subject were evaluated and finally 125 studies were selected purposefully. In the second step, interviews were conducted with 30 experts in the field until theoretical saturation was reached. By analyzing the content and implementing the interviews conducted, a total of 90 main codes, 18 axial codes, and 7 open codes were analyzed. The results of the analysis were divided into two sections: the current state of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship education. In addition, the results of indicated that in the current situation, schools are faced with weaknesses in policy-making and macro-goals, micro-targeting and small-scale targeting, human resources, educational content, educational space and facilities, and evaluation and follow-up. In this context, it is necessary to specifically attend to the basic infrastructure of entrepreneurship education, the creation of value-added schools, the launch of a teacher update system, and the creation of a coaching and follow-up system in order to meet the prerequisites of entrepreneurship education.
