Summary
Individual participation in entrepreneurial activities has been proven to enhance the Malaysian economy and has the ability in reducing unemployment rates (Mohd Hasril et al, 2017). Even so it is realized that Commerce which was the main player for entrepreneurial education only represents 23% of its contents on entrepreneurship. Realizing this the ministry had to forward a reform in entrepreneurial education by introducing a new subject called Business and Entrepreneurship starting from 2017. The objectives of such changes are to transform Malaysia into an internationally competitive entrepreneurial nation and in debunking the negative view of entrepreneurial education in schools as ineffective. Realizing the gap that exist between the planning and execution process of entrepreneurial education in Malaysia it is imperative that this issue should be discussed and tackled as time, human resource and financial funding has been invested in effort of realizing the potential of Malaysia as an entrepreneurship hotbed
