The entrepreneurship culture was developed by teachers and students as the main actors and supported by other important actors, namely parents and the community around the school. These actors built a culture of entrepreneurship. Relationships that were built between teachers and students through interpersonal communication would explain the culture of entrepreneurship built in schools. The culture of entrepreneurship in schools was built through the contribution of effective communication to the key actors involved, namely teachers, students, parents, and the surrounding community.
