If entrepreneurship education is isolated in a single course, apart from the whole curriculum, it may be missed by many students who then would not profit from their potential development as enterprising individuals. Placing entrepreneurial concepts and the entrepreneur into the standard economics course not only makes the course more reflective of the real world, but it also can help to improve students’ comprehension and enjoyment of the economics course. Stories of success resulting from education in entrepreneurship inspire many people to think of starting their own business. This is further aided by the internet to throw the doors open to several opportunities for a new generation of entrepreneurs to seize upon. A certain fall out of this development is an increase in competition which motivated people to learn compete and innovate. Competition is countered by innovation and that leads to more and more inventions. Education in entrepreneurship prepared would be entrepreneur to accept risks and forge ahead. Entrepreneurship education means many different things to educators - from primary schools to university, from vocational education to a university MBA. The action of government in creating and limiting the environment for entrepreneurship should be included in courses of high school government.
