A Connection Between Theory and Reality of Entrepreneurship Education in Bangladesh

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education has gained significant attention in recent years. This research aimed to explore the usefulness and linkage of entrepreneurship education and practice in establishing entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. The objectives were to investigate the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education, examine the teaching methods employed, identify institutional shortcomings, and explore the connection between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial outcomes. The study utilized a mixed methods approach to collect data from some specific private universities in Bangladesh. The key findings highlight the positive impact of entrepreneurship education on developing an entrepreneurial mindset, generating innovative ideas, and creating new business models. However, challenges such as limited resources, lack of awareness, and regulatory barriers hinder the delivery and development of entrepreneurship education. Moreover, empirical evidence suggests that entrepreneurship education contributes to higher profits compared to individuals without such education.
