Abstract

There has been a significant increase in the use of entrepreneurship education in schools, university colleges and universities in Europe. This paper investigates entrepreneurship education in secondary education and training in Norway. Entrepreneurship is organized as a separate subject, as a topic in other subjects, or is integrated in subjects through projects. The first part of the paper systematizes entrepreneurship education in secondary schools, using a distinction between three approaches: about, for and through entrepreneurship. The second part is empirical, and presents the first high-quality quantitative study of the distribution of entrepreneurship education projects in secondary education and training in Norway. It shows that approximately 90% of secondary schools provide entrepreneurship education. The authors use a combination of data covering the whole population of secondary schools and data from a survey among a representative sample of school leaders.
