Abstract: In the paper, we analyse the possibilities for promotion of entrepreneurship among students in high schools. The paper focuses on the identification and exploration of the teaching and learning methods contributing to students' entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurially oriented teaching and learning should be action-focused, involving the students as much as possible, as well as individuals coming from contexts outside the schools. Besides, teachers’ work experiences are also crucial. Literature stresses the importance of methods such as roll playing, which might increase students’ motivation for entrepreneurship, action learning for recognising business opportunities, guests from practice and business competitions for business ideas commercialization, live case studies for fostering creativity and innovation, etc. In our study, we are primarily interested in recognising possible causal relationships between the teaching and learning on one side, and students’ entrepreneurial intentions on the other side. The links regarding gender, parents' employment status and plans to continue education will also be checked.
