Abstract: Abstract Entrepreneurial education is fundamental to boosting socioeconomic development and dealing with challenges such as a lack of motivation for school and unemployment. Investing in promoting creativity and entrepreneurship not only boosts innovation and economic growth, but also creates employment opportunities and promotes social cohesion. The development of entrepreneurial skills can help to tackle problems such as academic failure and school dropout, and it is essential to promote these skills from childhood, with the active involvement of schools and teachers. Teachers need to be trained with knowledge of creativity and entrepreneurship, and these skills should be promoted throughout the school community, ensuring inclusive and socially responsible education. Effective results require coordination of activities with government bodies and comprehensive policies that include all schools, both public and private, at all levels of education, to ensure that entrepreneurial education is a national priority.
