PERCEPTION OF TEACHERS ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION IN NIGERIAN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

This paper explores the perception of teachers regarding entrepreneurship education in primary schools. The paper provides an oversight into how teachers view the implementation of entrepreneurship education and its impact on students. It indicates the need for teachers to generally recognize the importance of entrepreneurship education in equipping students with critical skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and financial literacy. The paper further identifies the challenges teachers faced in integrating entrepreneurship into the primary school curriculum, including a lack of appropriate resources and training. Due to the positive correlation between teachers' perceptions of entrepreneurship education and their willingness to engage in professional development to improve their ability to teach entrepreneurship concepts effectively, the paper underscores the need for comprehensive support and resources for teachers to successfully implement entrepreneurship education in primary schools.
